Infos

Aerodynamics for Engineering Students, Eight Edition provides concise explanations of basic concepts combined with an excellent introduction to aerodynamic theory. This updated edition has been revised with improved pedagogy and reorganized content to facilitate student learning. The book includes new examples in many chapters, expanded use of the 'aerodynamics around us' boxes to help put the content into proper context for students, and more coverage and use of computational methods like MATLAB. - Provides contemporary applications and examples that help students see the link between everyday physical examples of aerodynamics and the application of aerodynamic principles to aerodynamic design - Contains MATLAB-based computational exercises throughout, giving students practice in using industry-standard computational tools - Includes examples in SI and Imperial units, reflecting the fact that the aerospace industry uses both systems of units - Includes improved pedagogy, such as more worked examples throughout, a reorganization of content, and further integration of MATLAB

Steven Collicott is a Professor in the Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics at Purdue University. His research interests include experimental fluid mechanics, low-gravity fluid dynamics, optical diagnostics, and applied optics. He has led the proposing, design, and construction of 27 low-gravity NASA aircraft experiments, designed 2 of 6 tests in the successful Capillary Fluids Experiments (CFE) performed in the International Space Station in 2006/07, and advised on CFE modifications scheduled for launch in 2010. Professor Collicott is the president-elect of the American Society for Gravitational and Space Research (ASGSR). He was Inducted into Purdue's 'Book of Great Teachers” in 2008, which 'honors outstanding teaching faculty who have demonstrated sustained excellence in the classroom.”
