Numerical and Physical Aspects of Aerodynamic Flows IV

The topics covered are technology in two- and three-dimensional steady flows, two- and three-dimensional unsteady flows, and stability and transition. Each part begins with an overview of current research. The book addresses researchers in numerical and applied physics, and engineers in applied mechanics and fluid mechanics.
