This book concentrates on high-fidelity numerical methods for predicting internal flows within aeroengines' compressors. A distinctive features of this work is the establishment of a comprehensive research framework. Specifically, it starts with engineering application requirements and integrates high-performance parallel algorithms to develop detached eddy simulation (DES)-series methods tailored to the needs of compressor design. Additionally, it encompasses the development of data analysis methods suitable for handling the "vast" amounts of high-fidelity unsteady flow data in...

This book takes a new approach to air navigation, extending the classic scope of positioning and guidance to efficient and safe 4D flight trajectory management. Modern air navigation aims at flight trajectories optimisation. There is an infinite number of solutions to the classic navigation problem of flying from one airport to another, but most of them are wasteful of resources and even risky. Minimising all costs and risks incurred by the 4D flight trajectory makes air navigation both efficient and safe, which are key factors in air navigation services. Beyond minimising fuel burn and...

This book provides a clear and concise understanding of the principles and applications of HVACR using a rigorous, yet, easy to follow presentation. The coverage is broad, including relevant support areas such as fluid mechanics, heat transfer, thermodynamics, psychrometrics, with specific applications to HVACR design and calculations, and main topics such as air conditioning processes, cooling / heating load calculations, refrigeration cycles, and HVACR equipment and systems. The book integrates and illustrates the use of data and information from ASHRAE Handbooks and Standards in...

This book is an introduction to wind turbine aerodynamics for professionals and students with a diverse range of backgrounds. It is a self-contained textbook that shows how to progress from the basics of fluid mechanics to modern wind turbine blade design. It presents the fundamentals of fluid dynamics and inflow conditions, as well as extensive information on theories describing the aerodynamics of wind turbines. After examining a number of related experiments, the book applies the lessons learned to blade design.

The text of this 3rd edition has been thoroughly revised,...
