Availability Information

We source books from suppliers in Australia and overseas. For books we don't currently have in stock, the time it takes to get them from our suppliers can vary widely - from a few days to a few months - so we check each book with each supplier to determine the expected time it will take to be supplied to us.

We then advise you accordingly. If the time taken to get any book is too long for you, you can let us know and we will cancel or adjust your order, and refund as required.

Written by a leading expert in the field, this book presents a novel method for controlling high-speed flows past aerodynamic shapes using energy deposition via direct current (DC), laser or microwave discharge, and describes selected applications in supersonic and hypersonic flows. Emphasizing a deductive approach, the fundamental physical principles provided give an understanding of the simplified mathematical models derived therefrom. These features, along with an extensive set of 55 simulations, make the book an invaluable reference that will be of interest to researchers and graduate students working in aerospace engineering and in plasma physics.

Doyle D. Knight is Distinguished Professor of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering at Rutgers University, New Jersey. His research interests include gas dynamics and design optimization. His research in gas dynamics includes shock wave boundary layer interaction, incipient separation on pitching airfoils, turbulence model development, high speed inlet unstart and effects of unsteady energy deposition in supersonic flows. His research activity in design optimization focuses on the application of computational fluid dynamics to the automated optimal design of high speed air vehicles. He is the author of Elements of Numerical Methods for Compressible Flows (Cambridge, 2006).
