The book contains 37 selected, revised, and thoroughly edited papers addressing various issues of flight physics written by world-known experts. The papers include critical analyses of previous studies and controversial aspects of novel
flight concepts, new theoretical and experimental results and ¦ndings as well as numerous references to archival publications worldwide. The book is organized in 9 chapters: (1) Turbulence Modeling; (2) Boundary Layer Stability; (3) Flow
Control; (4) Vortex, Wake, and Base Flows; (5) Shock Interaction; (6) Hypersonics; (7) Reentry; (8) Real Gases and Rare¦ed Flows; and (9) Con¦guration Aerodynamics, Sonic Boom, and Aircraft Aerodynamic Model. The volume was prepared as a reference for research scientists and practicing engineers in the field of flight physics.
