Hypersonic slender body aerodynamics

By: Series: Aerospace series | / edited by Peter Belobaba, Jonathan Cooper and Allan SeabridgePublication details: John Wiley 2025 HobokenDescription: xix, 179pISBN:
  • 9781394285631
Subject(s): DDC classification:
  • 629.132306 R187h
Summary: Developed using class-tested course material, Hypersonic Slender Body Aerodynamics presents the theoretical and application aspects of the subject in a precise, concise, and student-friendly manner. The text includes a large number of worked examples, figures, diagrams, tables, and exercise problems. This book covers the subject material beginning from the definition of the slender body geometry through to the study of flow field around the body and the calculation of the aerodynamic and thermal loads acting on the body at speeds ranging from low to high (i.e., from incompressible to hypersonic speeds). The Mach number independence principle and approximate theories for caret wings are also covered, among many other key topics. This book is unique in its comprehensive coverage of the topic, enabling readers to find information in one place instead of scattered throughout proprietary wind tunnel test data, flight test data, government technical reports, scientific literature sources, and numerical methods.
