Aircraft Conceptual Design Synthesis by denis howe

Aircraft Conceptual Design Synthesis by denis howe



Aircraft Conceptual Design Synthesis means design by fitness-for-purpose. Design engineers can jump off from the point of given parameters and requirements – required performance, payloads and other factors.

This is the first book for the aeronautical designer devoted to guiding the reader through this highly effective conceptual design synthesis process. This forms the procedure for the initial stage of the aircraft design process – the interpretation of a requirement into the preliminary layout. A logical design sequence is developed utilizing original modules to represent propulsion, lift, drag, mass, and performance. Aircraft Conceptual Design Synthesis includes a disk of spreadsheets that provides core data. Unlike existing approaches, the design synthesis method can be applied to novel aircraft concepts.

CONTENTS INCLUDE

• The design process
• Aircraft configuration
• Flight regime and powerplant considerations
• Fuselage layout
• Configuration of the wing
• Basic lift, drag and mass representations
• Performance estimation
• Parametric analysis and optimisation
• Analysis of concept design

Computational Fluid Dynamics- The Basics with Applications by Anderson J.D.Jr

 Computational Fluid Dynamics- The Basics with Applications by Anderson J.D.Jr



The Beginner's guide to Computational Fluid Dynamics From aerospace design to applications in civil, mechanical, and chemical engineering, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is as essential as it is complex. The most accessible introduction of its kind, Computational Fluid Dynamics: The Basics With Applications, by experienced aerospace engineer John D. Anderson, Jr., gives you a thorough grounding in: the governing equations of fluid dynamics--their derivation, physical meaning, and most relevant forms; numerical discretization of the governing equations--including grids with appropriate transformations and popular techniques for solving flow problems; common CFD computer graphic techiniques; applications of CFD to 4 classic fluid dynamics problems--quasi-one-dimensional nozzle flows, two-dimensional supersonic flow, incompressible couette flow, and supersonic flow over a flat plate; state-of-the-art algorithms and applications in CFD--from the Beam and Warming Method to Second-Order Upwind Schemes and beyond.

Computational Fluid Mechanics and Heat Transfer by tannehill,anderson and pletcher

Computational Fluid Mechanics and Heat Transfer  tannehill,anderson and pletcher



As today’s financial products have become more complex, quantitative analysts, financial engineers, and others in the financial industry now require robust techniques for numerical analysis. Covering advanced quantitative techniques, Computational Methods in Finance explains how to solve complex functional equations through numerical methods. The first part of the book describes pricing methods for numerous derivatives under a variety of models. The book reviews common processes for modeling assets in different markets. It then examines many computational approaches for pricing derivatives. These include transform techniques, such as the fast Fourier transform, the fractional fast Fourier transform, the Fourier-cosine method, and saddlepoint method; the finite difference method for solving PDEs in the diffusion framework and PIDEs in the pure jump framework; and Monte Carlo simulation. The next part focuses on essential steps in real-world derivative pricing. The author discusses how to calibrate model parameters so that model prices are compatible with market prices. He also covers various filtering techniques and their implementations and gives examples of filtering and parameter estimation. Developed from the author’s courses at Columbia University and the Courant Institute of New York University, this self-contained text is designed for graduate students in financial engineering and mathematical finance as well as practitioners in the financial industry. It will help readers accurately price a vast array of derivatives.

Applied Aerodynamics by Kroo - A digital Textbook

The text is meant to introduce the reader to many of the important concepts in applied aerodynamics from a slightly different perspective from most books on aerodynamics. In this introductory chapter, a history section focuses on some of the earliest ideas in aerodynamics, with links to related sites on the world-wide-web. This is followed by a chapter on the fundamentals of fluid dynamics with which, we assume most readers will be familiar. We have tried to provide expanded coverage of topics such as airfoil design, wing lift distributions and wing design, and configuration aerodynamics, including a brief discussion of the aerodynamics most important to stability and control
