Good evening,
I was wondering about how velocities transform when two successive rotations are applied. In other words, how is the transformation law between two frames which are rotating relative to another.
Lets say some particle is moving with a velocity v in an inertial frame S. If we go...
Just looked at this derivation in Landau & Lifshitz again and wondered why the equation of state looks like $$\delta P = \left (\frac{\partial P}{\partial \rho} \right)_{S,0} \delta \rho$$ Sure, the entropy is constant, but why can you assume the pressure to be only dependent on the density, and...
Thanks for the advice! So I guess I'll go with Anderson or Cummings since indeed my main goal is a general aerodynamics knowledge, especially with regards to aircraft. Since I generally prefer books focussing a bit more on equations, is there one of those two of which you would say this is the...
Sure,
the first one was the "Fundamentals of Aerodynamics" by J. Anderson: https://www.amazon.de/dp/1259129918/ which was recommended in different places, but looks more like undergraduated stuff.
The second one was the "Theoretical Aerodynamics" by Ethirajan Rathakrishnan, this one...
Hello,
Can someone recommend me a good textbook to (self-)study aerodynamics, optimally with focus on aircrafts. I am a graduated student in physics and therefore familiar with all the basic concepts of fluiddynamics and calculus. But, apart from that, I have no further knowledge in the field...
Hello together,
I don't know if anybody is still interested in this thread but i recently did these calculations myself, inspired by the small scene at the blackboard with the elliptic integrals in the film "The man who knew infinity". I stumbled across this thread and wanted to share my...
