Applied Aerodynamics

Aerodynamics, From A Modern Point Of View, Is A Branch Of Physics That Study Physical Laws And Their Applications, Regarding The Displacement Of A Body Into A Fluid, Such Concept Could Be Applied To Any Body Moving In A Fluid At Rest Or Any Fluid Moving Around A Body At Rest. This Book Covers A Small Part Of The Numerous Cases Of Stationary And Non Stationary Aerodynamics; Wave Generation And Propagation; Wind Energy; Flow Control Techniques And, Also, Sports Aerodynamics. It's Not An Undergraduate Text But Is Thought To Be Useful For Those Teachers And/or Researchers Which Work In The Several Branches Of Applied Aerodynamics And/or Applied Fluid Dynamics, From Experiments Procedures To Computational Methods.
