The first four chapters present genera! information characterizing hypersonic flows, discuss numerical formulations of varying degrees of rigor in computational fluid dynamics codes, and show the strengths and limitations of the various types of hypersonic experimentation. Other chapters cover the stagnation-region flowfield, the inviscid flowfield, the boundary layer, the aerodynamic forces and moments, viscous/inviscid interactions as well as shock/shock interactions, and a review of aerother-modynamics phenomena and their role in the design of a hypersonic vehicle. Sample exercises and homework problems are presented throughout the text.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent,
By Larry Manofsky, mpmhfp123@worldnet.att.net (Asheville, NC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hypersonic Aerothermodynamics (AIAA Education Series) (Hardcover)
Excellent reference source for estimating re-entry heat loads. After reading the text you are left with the feeling that you 'have a good handle on the subject matter'. That's about the best you can say for this kind of book. The few examples that cover stagnation point temperature estimation have a few steps that could be expanded to better illustrate where the numbers came from and how they are used. No complains here. though.
