This paper deals with the steady, frictionless, nonheatconducting flow field of a thin airfoil moving supersonically in an atmosphere with a weak wind gradient. Because of this wind gradient, the flow ...
As the angle of attack is increased on a high-performance airfoil, a small amount of separation occurs near the leading edge. This separation causes the boundary layer to transition from laminar to ...
Without the aerodynamic forces of lift and drag, aircraft would be unable to fly, wind turbines would not spin, and countless other machines that we depend on every day would not work. What, exactly, ...
