Editorial Reviews

Product Description
This edition substantially expands the coverage of Viscous Flow and makes the new edition more well-rounded in that the material can now be used not only for standard incompressible and compressible flow courses, but also for courses that emphasize viscous flow. The Second Edition also contains new homework problems, worked examples, expanded coverage of Hypersonic Flow, and other updates throughout.

About the Author
John D. Anderson, Jr. is the Curator of Aerodynamics at the National Air & Space Museum Smithsonian Institute and Professor Emeritus at the University of Maryland. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Aerospace Engineering Reference, May 29, 2001

By	George P. Burdell (Atlanta, GA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Fundamentals of Aerodynamics (Hardcover)

This excellent book is full of examples and equations to help students relate to the fundamental concepts in an introductory aerodynamics class.

The book is especially useful for reference, as it explains the derivations and many forms of complex equations such as the continuity equation. Furthermore, there are lots of examples of real-world design situations and historical backgrounds.

Overall, one of the best books I have used in my undergraduate aerospace engineering curriculum.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book!, April 5, 2000

By A Customer

Great book for first and second semester aerodynamics. Especially the sections on supersonics and hypersonics. Links the technical and historical aspects of aerodynamics to give a very good global perspective of the subject. Anderson also provides "roadmaps" which tend to help the reader stay on track as to where the discussion is going. Those are especially helpful for technical books such as this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fundamentals of Aerodynamics, March 2, 2000

By	Nomy (The Netherlands) - See all my reviews

This book is one of the best written books I have. This book is well-organized, clearly written and easily understood. Each chapter contains a road map to keep the reader well aware of the proper flow of ideas and concepts.
