This book contains contributions ranging from the analytical and numerical treatment of flow details to reviewing national activities in research and engineering design of the past decade. Results for unsteady transonic flow with applications in aeroelastics are discussed as well as transonic problems of future supersonic transport projects, including the aeroacoustic issue of the Sonic Boom. Adaptive configurations based on understanding viscous-inviscid flow interaction and flow control concepts, the status of wind tunnel testing and the research in multiphase flow illustrate the challenging problems in the wide range of transonic fluid mechanics. A comprehensive review of the developments in Computation Fluid Dynamics is included. This timely work updates the knowledge base in an important section of mechanics. It should be of special interest to those studying fluid dynamics for aerospace engineering software development and for the industry in their pursuit of future air transport projects.
