Applications of Circulation Control Technology (Hardback)

Based on papers from the 2004 NASA/ONR Circulation Control Workshop(A01); this collection is an invaluable(A01); one-of-a-kind resource on the state of the art in circulation control technologies and applications. Filling the information gap between 1986 -- when the last such symposium was held -- and today(A01); it summarizes the applications(A01); experiments(A01); computations and theories related to circulation control(A01); emphasizing fundamental physics(A01); systems analysis and applied research. The papers presented cover a wide variety of aerodynamic and hydrodynamic applications including naval vehicles(A01); fixed-wing aviation(A01); V/STOL platforms(A01); propulsion systems and ground vehicles.Anyone with interests in applied aerodynamics(A01); fluid mechanics and aircraft design will find this book of particular value(A01); as will those seeking a an up-to-date reference work on circulation control and its many current applications.
