Andy Bester once considered himself to be a lucky man. That was before he met Valoria Queeg and agreed to transport her home aboard his small spaceliner, the Venture Star. It was before a sinister colonel of an underground movement began stalking him at every turn. It was before he was accused of attempting to start a war between two adversarial worlds by destroying a politically sensitive pet food convoy. It was before he learned that a mysterious, ghostly debris field endangers not only the Earth but also threatens to alter history forever. And to top it all off, an ancient, bioluminescent...

This computational aerodynamics textbook is written at the undergraduate level, based on years of teaching focused on developing the engineering skills required to become an intelligent user of aerodynamic codes. This is done by taking advantage of CA codes that are now available and doing projects to learn the basic numerical and aerodynamic concepts required. This book includes a number of unique features to make studying computational aerodynamics more enjoyable. These include: The computer programs used in the book's projects are all open source and accessible to students and practicing...
