In dealing with inviscid, hypersonic flow in Part 1, we are simply examining the question: what happens to the fluid dynamics of an inviscid flow when the Mach number is made very large? We will see ...

Designed as an effective classroom text and a viable, professional working tool, this book is packed with chapter previews, design examples, and roadmaps to guide the reader through learning about ...

Low-speed aerodynamics is important in the design and operation of aircraft flying at low Mach number, and ground and marine vehicles. This text offers a modern treatment of both the theory of ...

Formally, both types of drag are due to viscosity (if the body was moving through an an inviscid fluid there would be no drag at all), but the distinction is useful because the two types of drag are ...

In an imaginary fluid that has no friction (an inviscid fluid), there would be no drag, the entropy does not change, and the flow would be reversible. For example, a cylinder in the flow of an ...
