Biomimetics for Aviation and Marine Applications - (Aerospace Fundamentals, Applications, and Exploration) (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

In the book, after coverage of key background topics and other essential, physics-specific concepts, readers can expect to find a wide range of field test studies and numerical simulations of applied fluid dynamics. Two areas of practical implementation are specifically emphasized in the ensuing sections through detailed descriptions of leading research developments and reviews of state-of-the-art design examples of novel or bio-improved vehicles for aviation and marine purposes. Finally, in most of the chapters, future prospects and critical challenges in the execution and utilization of those biological features for practical engineering advances are discussed, aiming to foster creative, but still theoretically sound approaches to further optimize actuation and control of next-gen biomimicry models.
