Theoretical Aerodynamics.

Abstract

Mathematical and computational studies have been carried out on problems of theoretical aerodynamics. Shock free bodies and optimum critical airfoils have been considered in transonic theory, optimum three-dimensional lifting wings in hypersonic theory. Stability and transition of boundary layers has been analyzed according to triple deck theory. The Benjamin-Davis-Acrivos equation has been derived and it has been shown how solitons can lead to chaotic motion.
