Book Description
The U.S. Air Force wanted an upgrade. It wanted a better fighter jet. One that could stay hidden from the enemy. One that could attack and destroy. One that could defend itself. One that could keep pilots safe. Keep U.S. ground troops safe. Keep Americans safe. Keep the world safe. A jet fighter that all friendly nations could use. This book is all about that aircraft. Part of the America's Fighter Jets series: F-35A Lightning II puts readers into the sky with the jet. This fun book gives young readers insight on how the F-35A Lightning II achieved its goals. And why fewer of them might be made in the future.
Shock Wave-Boundary-Layer Interactions
Author : Holger Babinsky
Publisher : Cambridge University Press

File Size : 19,70 MB
Release : 2011-09-12
Category : Technology & Engineering
ISBN : 1139498649
Book Description
Shock wave-boundary-layer interaction (SBLI) is a fundamental phenomenon in gas dynamics that is observed in many practical situations, ranging from transonic aircraft wings to hypersonic vehicles and engines. SBLIs have the potential to pose serious problems in a flowfield; hence they often prove to be a critical - or even design limiting - issue for many aerospace applications. This is the first book devoted solely to a comprehensive, state-of-the-art explanation of this phenomenon. It includes a description of the basic fluid mechanics of SBLIs plus contributions from leading international experts who share their insight into their physics and the impact they have in practical flow situations. This book is for practitioners and graduate students in aerodynamics who wish to familiarize themselves with all aspects of SBLI flows. It is a valuable resource for specialists because it compiles experimental, computational and theoretical knowledge in one place.

Optimization Under Uncertainty with Applications to Aerospace Engineering
Author : Massimiliano Vasile
Publisher : Springer Nature
Page : 573 pages
File Size : 47,99 MB
Release : 2021-02-15
Category : Science
ISBN : 3030601668
Book Description
In an expanding world with limited resources, optimization and uncertainty quantification have become a necessity when handling complex systems and processes. This book provides the foundational material necessary for those who wish to embark on advanced research at the limits of computability, collecting together lecture material from leading experts across the topics of optimization, uncertainty quantification and aerospace engineering. The aerospace sector in particular has stringent performance requirements on highly complex systems, for which solutions are expected to be optimal and reliable at the same time. The text covers a wide range of techniques and methods, from polynomial chaos expansions for uncertainty quantification to Bayesian and Imprecise Probability theories, and from Markov chains to surrogate models based on Gaussian processes. The book will serve as a valuable tool for practitioners, researchers and PhD students.

Optimal Shape Design
Author : B. Kawohl
Publisher : Springer Science & Business Media
Page : 404 pages
File Size : 40,1 MB
Release : 2000-11-16
Category : Mathematics
ISBN : 9783540679714
Book Description
Optimal Shape Design is concerned with the optimization of some performance criterion dependent (besides the constraints of the problem) on the "shape" of some region. The main topics covered are: the optimal design of a geometrical object, for instance a wing, moving in a fluid; the optimal shape of a region (a harbor), given suitable constraints on the size of the entrance to the harbor, subject to incoming waves; the optimal design of some electrical device subject to constraints on the performance. The aim is to show that Optimal Shape Design, besides its interesting industrial applications, possesses nontrivial mathematical aspects. The main theoretical tools developed here are the homogenization method and domain variations in PDE. The style is mathematically rigorous, but specifically oriented towards applications, and it is intended for both pure and applied mathematicians. The reader is required to know classical PDE theory and basic functional analysis.
Non-Equilibrium Air Plasmas at Atmospheric Pressure

Publisher : CRC Press
Page : 704 pages
File Size : 21,48 MB
Release : 2004-11-29
Category : Science
ISBN : 9780750309622
Book Description
Atmospheric-pressure plasmas continue to attract considerable research interest due to their diverse applications, including high power lasers, opening switches, novel plasma processing applications and sputtering, EM absorbers and reflectors, remediation of gaseous pollutants, excimer lamps, and other noncoherent light sources. Atmospheric-pressure plasmas in air are of particular importance as they can be generated and maintained without vacuum enclosure and without any additional feed gases. Non-Equilibrium Air Plasmas at Atmospheric Pressure reviews recent advances and applications in the generation and maintenance of atmospheric-pressure plasmas. With contributions from leading international researchers, the coverage includes advances in atmospheric-pressure plasma source development, diagnostics and characterization, air plasma chemistry, modeling and computational techniques, and an assessment of the status and prospects of atmospheric-pressure air plasma applications. The extensive application sections make this book attractive for practitioners in many fields where technologies based on atmospheric-pressure air plasmas are emerging.
