Modern aerodynamic methods for direct and inverse applications /

Just when classic subject areas seem understood, the author, a Caltech, M.I.T. and Boeing trained aerodynamicist, raises profound questions over traditional formulations. Can shear flows be rigorously modeled using simpler potential-like methods versus Euler equation approaches Why not solve aerodyn...
