Fluid Mechanics and Thermodynamics of Turbomachinery Dixon & Hall Currently Reading
I am reading this book so that I can learn about how turbines, propellers, compressors, and fans are designed and modelled aerodynamically. This will allow me to become aware and familiar with a whole other field of aerodynamics and thermodynamics and become a powerful tool in an aerospace companies toolbox
Aeroacoustics of Low Mach Number Flows Glegg & Devenport Read:2025
This book was a great read, and introduced me to the world of aeroacoustics and the various sources, how to model them, the transmittance of it, and the governing equations.
Fundamentals of Aerodynamics Andersom Currently Reading
Fundamentals of aero is a primary book in the toolbox of every aerodynamicist. Although I have already read it, I am reading it again to make sure I always remember and focus on the fundamentals.
Three-Dimensional Separated Flow Topology Delery Read: 2024
Seperated flow are everywhere. This book will teach me how to properly identify sperated flows, what type they are, and what the cause may be. This will then allow me to design out any unwanted separation by knowing the cause rather than using only my experience and intuition.
Vortex Dynamics Saffman Read: 2024
Vortex dynamics is by far the subject I am most interested in, if I do a graduate degree, I want it to be on vortices. Vortices are powerfull flow structures that if used properly, can bring significant benefits. Understanding how they behave and how to model and track them is vital and I am excited to read this book.
Modern Compressible Flow Anderson Read: 2023
Technically, all flow is compressible, we just assume them to not be below a certain threshold of 0.3 mach. With cars starting to go faster, high rpm fans and turbomachinery wanting to become more efficient, and aircraft cruising at 0.82 mach, knowing and understanding compressible flow is crucial to me as an aerodynamicist.
I enjoyed reading this book and learning theory, concepts, applications, history, and the mathematics behind the various forms of compressible flow. Although it took longer to read than planned due to finishing my studies and starting at Red Bull Racing, it was a pleasure to read this during my spare time.
Design & Development of an Aerodynamic Package for an FSAE Race Car Oxyzoglou Read: 2021
By now you can guess why I read this paper. It was a good read with good detail and gave some solid ideas and processes that I tried to implement on my teams FSAE car.
Race Car Aerodynamics Katz Read: 2021
This book was also for my understanding of my FSAE car and gave more detail to my high level understanding. These books laid a solid foundation that I could then dig deeper into other subjects that are more advanced like seperation, and vortex dynamics.
Aerodynamics of Race Cars Katz Read: 2021
As with High-Lift Aerodynamics, I read this book to help with my role of design lead. This book helped with a high level understanding of race car aero and with general trends for front wing, rear wing, and diffuser design for things like ground clearance, gurney flaps, and so on.
High-Lift Aerodynamics Smith Read: 2021
This book came at a time where I was taking on more of a design lead on my FSAE teams aeordynamics sub team. This book was read to help me understand the reasons behind the multi element wing from a theoretical perspective rather than just a practical knowledge.
Fluid Mechanics Frank M. White Read: 2019
I read this book back in 2019 when I became heavily interested and invested in fluid mechanics and aerodynamics. This book laid a solid foundation for the rest of my studies in fluid mechanics from theory to application. Although I did not fully comprehend everything in this book, it allowed me to have those "I've seen this before" type of moment when I encounter something from the book and was able to go back and remember and relearn.
Elements of Aerofoil and Airscrew Theory Glauert Read: 2018
Reading this book was very math heavy but introduced me to airfoil theory and how to mathematically approximate them. This book was the first aerodynamics book I read and was given to me by a masters student on the Waterloop Design Team. This book also introduced me to airscrews, commonly known as propellers. This is by far the book I want to go back and read the most.
