The text includes a large number of worked examples, figures, diagrams, and tables, slides for lecturers, and a list of exercise problems with answers at the end of each chapter. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book covers the subject material beginning from the definition of the slender body geometry through to the study of flow field around the body and the calculation of the aerodynamic and thermal loads acting on the body at speeds ranging from low to high (i.e., from incompressible to hypersonic speeds). The Mach number independence principle and approximate theories for caret wings are also covered, among many other key topics. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is unique in its comprehensive coverage of the topic, enabling readers to find information in one place instead of scattered throughout proprietary wind tunnel test data, flight test data, government technical reports, scientific literature sources, and numerical methods. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSome of the concepts explored in \u003ci\u003eHypersonic Slender Body Aerodynamics\u003c\/i\u003e include: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eWings of supersonic aircraft, covering sharp leading edges and ground and viscous effects, and pressure distribution on surfaces, covering transverse and longitudinal flow\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHypersonic aerodynamics, covering atmospheric properties, hypersonic-flow characteristics, governing equations, and flow past a semi-wedge\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eApplication of slender-body theory, covering leading-edge heat transfer, sublimation, aerodynamic effects, nose bluntness, blast-wave theory, and thin shock layers\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAxisymmetric slender bodies, covering potential flow solutions and pressure distribution, and drag of slender bodies, covering shape factor and blunt after-body corrections\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eSkillfully written with a clear and engaging writing style, \u003ci\u003eHypersonic Slender Body Aerodynamics\u003c\/i\u003e is an essential learning resource on the subject for undergraduate and graduate students of aerospace engineering and practicing engineers working in aerospace research labs and industries.
