Built of titanium and a chrome-nickel alloy known as Inconel X, the X-15 was the fastest plane ever built, streaking through the lower reaches of outer space even before the first space capsules reached orbit. First tested in 1959, the X-15 proved to be a crucial testing ground for the astronauts and hardware in the Mercury, Gemini, Apollo, and ...
Recent government and commercial efforts to develop orbital and suborbital passenger and transport aircraft have resulted in a burgeoning of new research. The articles in this book, translated from Russian, were contributed by the world's leading authorities on supersonic and hypersonic flows and heat transfer. This superb book addresses the ...
This volume presents the modern approach to numerical simulation of supersonic and hypersonic flows around bodies. In its use of the viscous gas dynamics equations throughout the computational domain, the main advantage of the approach presented is that it takes account of the effects of rarefaction, viscous-inviscid interaction, separation, ...
This book contains chapters written by some eminent scientists and researchers on Computational Methods in Hypersonic Aerodynamics and forms a natural sequel to the earlier publications on "Computational Methods in Potential Flow" (1986) and "Computational Methods in Viscous Aerodynamics" (1990).In this book, the earlier attempts at the solution ...
Unified, self-contained view of nonequilibrium effects, body geometries, and similitudes available in hypersonic flow and thin shock layer; appropriate for graduate-level courses in hypersonic flow theory. 1966 edition.
This reference work features exhaustive coverage of the field, including descriptions of viscous effects and a unique treatment of waveriders. Although the book primarily employs classical methods of analysis, it also introduces the computer-based approach to numerical analysis known as computational fluid dynamics (CFD). With numerous exercises ...
By Larry Schweikart, et al. Edited by Richard P. Hallion. Consists of 3 volumes: V. 1, From Max Valier to Project PRIME (1924-1967); V. 2, From Scramjet to the National Aero-Space Plane (1964-1986); and V. 3, The Quest for the Orbital Jet, the National Aero-Space Plane Program (1983-1995).
This book is the second edition of a successful, self-contained text for those students and readers interested in learning hypersonic flow and high-temperature gas dynamics. Like the first edition, it assumes no prior familiarity with either subject on the part of the reader. This second edition has updated figures and data to complement the ...
There have been impressive achievements in the last few years in the technologies associated with turboramjets and other combined cycle engines. These technologies, including their thermal management and integration with the vehicle, are the principal concerns of this volume. Drawing on the expertise of international engineers and researchers in ...
Part of a two-volume work which examines the physical modelling and numerical simulation of the critical re-entry phase of hypersonic space flight, this volume explores specific problems of aerodynamics and thermodynamics. Both experimental and computational data is assessed.
This work aims to bridge the gap between the fluid dynamics and molecular physics communities, emphasizing the role played by elementary processes in hypersonic flows. In particular, the work is dedicated primarily to filling the gap between microscopic and macroscopic treatments of the source terms to be inserted in the fluid dynamics codes. The ...
