TY - CHAP AU - Joel E. Guerrero ED - Konstantin Volkov Y1 - 2017-12-20 PY - 2017 T1 - Wake Topology and Aerodynamic Performance of Heaving Wings N2 - The book focuses on the synthesis of the fundamental disciplines and practical applications involved in the investigation, description, and analysis of aircraft flight including applied aerodynamics, aircraft propulsion, flight performance, stability, and control. The book covers the aerodynamic models that describe the forces and moments on maneuvering aircraft and provides an overview of the concepts and methods used in flight dynamics. Computational methods are widely used by the practicing aerodynamicist, and the book covers computational fluid dynamics techniques used to improve understanding of the physical models that underlie computational methods.
