Description for Modeling Ships and Space Craft
Paperback. This clear and accessible demonstration of how hydrodynamics and fluid mechanics influence out lives covers their deployment in naval and aeronautical design from the early twentieth century to the present day, and includes seminal theories and designs. Num Pages: 249 pages, 101 black & white illustrations, 11 colour illustrations, biography. BIC Classification: PHDF; TRL; TRP. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 13. Weight in Grams: 409.
Modeling Ships and Space Craft: The Science and Art of Mastering the Oceans and Sky begins with the theories of Aristotle and Archimedes, moving on to examine the work of Froude and Taylor, the early aviators and the Wright Brothers, Goddard and the other rocket men, and the computational fluid dynamic models of our time. It examines the ways each used fluid dynamic principles in the design of their vessels. In the process, this book covers the history of hydrodynamic (aero and fluid) theory and its progression – with some very accessible science examples – including seminal theories. Hydrodynamic principles ... Read more
