Book
Transonic Aerodynamics
Transonic Aerodynamics by Carlo Ferrari provides an in-depth examination of the physical principles and analytical methods used to study airflow in the transonic speed range—where both subsonic and supersonic regions coexist around an aerodynamic body. The book explains the formation of shock waves, nonlinear flow behavior, compressibility effects, and the challenges associated with predicting aerodynamic forces near Mach 1. Ferrari presents classical and modern theoretical approaches, including potential-flow methods, similarity rules, and numerical techniques for transonic flow analysis. Supported by mathematical formulations, diagrams, and case studies, the text offers engineers and researchers a comprehensive understanding of the complexities of transonic aerodynamics and its importance in aircraft design.
