Book
Foundation of Aerodynamics
Foundations of Aerodynamics by A. M. Kuethe presents a rigorous introduction to the fundamental principles governing aerodynamic flows. The book covers inviscid and viscous flow theory, airfoil and wing aerodynamics, compressible flow, shock waves, boundary-layer behavior, and aerodynamic forces and moments. Emphasizing both mathematical formulation and physical interpretation, it provides clear derivations supported by diagrams and example problems. The text integrates classical theory with modern aerodynamic concepts, offering engineering students and practitioners a solid theoretical foundation for analyzing subsonic, transonic, and supersonic flows.
