Drag reduction by shock and boundary layer control : results of the project EUROSHOCK II, supported by the European Union, 1996-1999 / Egon Stanewsky, Jean Délery, John Fulker, and Paolo de Matteis (editors)

This volume contains a thorough description of the EU-supported project EUROSHOCK II concerned with the investigation of active shock and boundary layer control to improve aircraft performance. Discussed are basic experiments, supplemented by Navier-Stokes computations, to improve and validate physi...
