This revised and expanded edition aims to present a comprehensive overview of boundary-layer theory and its application to all areas of fluid mechanics, with emphasis on the flow past bodies. Information is based on a thorough review of the literature since the 1980s.
This text on control engineering includes conventional topics within a traditional organization, showing how modern control theory builds on classical methods. Topics such as transient response, the root-locus method and analogue computers are covered.
Offers resources for students and teachers of aerodynamics.
