Ch. 5. Incompressible Flow over Finite Wings. Ch. 6. Three-Dimensional Incompressible Flow. - Pt. 3. Inviscid, Compressible Flow. Ch. 7. Compressible Flow: Some Preliminary Aspects. Ch. 8. Normal Shock Waves and Related Topics. Ch. 9. Oblique Shock and Expansion Waves. Ch. 10. Compressible Flow through Nozzles, Diffusers, and Wind Tunnels. Ch. 11. Subsonic Compressible Flow over Airfoils: Linear Theory. Ch. 12. Linearized Supersonic Flow. Ch. 13. Introduction to Numerical Techniques for Nonlinear Supersonic Flow. Ch. 14. Elements of Hypersonic Flow. - Pt. 4. Viscous Flow. Ch. 15. Introduction to the Fundamental Principles and Equations of Viscous Flow. Ch. 16 Some Special Cases; Couette and Poiseuille Flows. Ch. 17. Introduction to Boundary Layers. Ch. 18. Laminar Boundary Layers. Ch. 19. Turbulent Boundary Layers. Ch. 20. Navier-Stokes Solutions: Some Examples. - Appendix A. Isentropic Flow Properties. - Appendix B. Normal Shock Properties. - Appendix C. Prandtl-Meyer Function and Mach Angle. - Bibliography. - Index.
Summary: In keeping with previous editions, Fundamentals of Aerodynamics, Third Edition, offers the most readable, interesting, and up-to-date overview of aerodynamics to be found in any text. Anderson organizes the content along classical lines, moving from inviscid incompressible flow to inviscid compressible flow, and then to viscous flow. Historical topics are brought in to show the development of the field and motivate the discussion. Carefully developed examples, numerous illustrations, and a wide selection of chapter problems are found throughout the book. - Back cover.
