My school doesn't offer any courses on aerodynamics, except a graduate level engineering course. I was hoping someone could recommend a good textbook for self study.
Aerodynamics is the study of how objects move through air. It is important because it helps us understand and improve the design of vehicles, buildings, and other structures for efficient movement and reduced drag.
An aerodynamics textbook typically covers topics such as fluid mechanics, lift and drag forces, airfoil design, boundary layers, and flow visualization techniques.
The self-study guide provides a structured approach to learning aerodynamics, with clear explanations, diagrams, and practice problems. By following the guide and completing the exercises, you can strengthen your understanding and mastery of the subject.
Some basic knowledge of physics and calculus is helpful for studying aerodynamics. However, the self-study guide is designed to be accessible to anyone with a strong interest in the subject, regardless of their background.
Yes, this textbook can be used for a college course on aerodynamics. It covers all the essential topics and includes practice problems and exercises for students to apply their knowledge. It can also serve as a helpful reference for those already familiar with the subject.
