Book Hero Magic created this recommendation. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! IS THIS YOUR NEXT READ?
This book is ideal for undergraduate and graduate engineering students studying aerodynamics. It also serves as a valuable reference for researchers and practitioners in aerospace research laboratories and industry involved in aerodynamic design and analysis.
Covering classical aerodynamic theories and applications made possible by computational aerodynamics, this book provides a discussion on lift and drag from an overall dynamical approach, and after stating the governing Navier-Stokes equation, covers potential flows and panel method.

Description
Aerodynamics has seen many developments due to the growth of scientific computing, which has dramatically reduced the design cycle time of aerospace vehicles. Today, computational aerodynamics appears in the preliminary step of a new design, relegating costly, time-consuming wind tunnel testing to the final stages of design.
Theoretical and Computational Aerodynamics is designed to be a comprehensive textbook, covering classical aerodynamic theories and recent applications made possible by computational aerodynamics. It begins with a discussion on lift and drag from an overall dynamical approach. After stating the governing Navier-Stokes equation, it covers potential flows and the panel method.
Low aspect ratio and delta wings (including vortex breakdown) are discussed in detail. Following an introduction to boundary layer theory, the book covers computational aerodynamics for DNS and LES. Other topics include flow transition to analyse NLF airfoils, bypass transition, streamwise and cross-flow instability over swept wings, viscous transonic flow over airfoils, low Reynolds number aerodynamics, high lift devices, and flow control.
Key features:
- Blends classical theories of incompressible aerodynamics with panel methods
- Covers lifting surface theories and low aspect ratio wing and wing-body aerodynamics
- Presents computational aerodynamics from first principles for incompressible and compressible flows
- Covers unsteady and low Reynolds number aerodynamics
- Includes an up-to-date account of DNS of airfoil aerodynamics, including flow transition for NLF airfoils
- Contains chapter problems and illustrative examples
- Accompanied by a website hosting problems and a solution manual
Theoretical and Computational Aerodynamics is an ideal textbook for undergraduate and graduate students. It is also intended as a valuable resource book on aerodynamics for researchers and practitioners in research labs and the industry.

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
The Aeronautical Journal praises the book as a comprehensive textbook blending classical and computational aerodynamics. It highlights the inclusion of transition and stability theory as a valuable addition for students, and notes the computational sections focus on presenting practical results relevant to aerodynamicists, rather than the fundamentals of numerics.

About the Author
Prof. Sengupta received his basic aeronautical/aerospace education from IIT Kharagpur, IISc Bangalore and Georgia Tech., Atlanta, USA. He has worked in various research organizations and educational institutes at NAL Bangalore, India; Univ. of Cambridge, U.K.; National University of Singapore, Singapore and IIT Kanpur, where he currently holds the PR Dwivedi Chair apart from leading HPCL, IIT Kanpur. His research interests span across fields of scientific and high performance computing; fundamental fluid mechanics and aerodynamics; transition and turbulence. His research teams have refined and expanded areas of scientific computing, HPC, receptivity/instability, transition and turbulence. His interests in fundamental aspects of aerodynamics have resulted in this book containing classical theoretical analyses and newer topics of transonic aerodynamics; natural laminar flow airfoil analysis and design; low Reynolds number aerodynamics; flow control to delay transition and separation. These later topics are outcome of his contributions in direct numerical simulation (DNS) and large eddy simulation (LES).
