The present volume is also unique for its recognition of matched asymptotic expansions as a unifying framework for introducing boundary-value problems of external flow over thin wings and bodies. In addition, the book fully acknowledges the important role of high-speed computers in aerodynamics.\u003cbr\u003eAfter a short review of the fundamentals of fluid mechanics, the authors offer a fairly extensive treatment of constant-density inviscid flow. Chapter 3 deals with singular perturbation problems, presenting an extremely useful technique not to be found in most texts. Subsequent chapters give solid basic coverage of these topics: \u003cbr\u003eChap. 4-Effects of Viscosity\u003cbr\u003eChap. 5-Thin-Wing Theory\u003cbr\u003eChap. 6-Siender-Body Theory\u003cbr\u003eChap. 7-Three-Dimensional Wings in Steady, Subsonic Flow\u003cbr\u003eChap. 8-Three-Dimensional Thin Wings in Steady Supersonic Flow\u003cbr\u003eChap. 9-Drag at Supersonic Speeds\u003cbr\u003eChap. 10-Use of Flow-Reversal Theorems in Drag Minimization Problems\u003cbr\u003eChap. 11-Interference and Nonplanar Lifting Surface theories\u003cbr\u003eChap. 12-Transonic Small-Disturbance Flow\u003cbr\u003eChap. 13-Unsteady Flow \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIdeal as a primary or supplementary text at the graduate level, \u003ci\u003eAerodynamics of Wings and Bodies \u003c\/i\u003ealso offers working engineers a valuable reference to the results\u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003eof modern aerodynamic research and a selection of new and useful analytical tools.\u003cbr\u003eHolt Ashley is Professor of Aeronautics\/ Astronautics and Mechanical Engineering at Stanford University.
