| Title | Proceedings of the Vortex Workshop : VW2023, December 11-13, San Diego, USA |
| Author(s) | Wang, Yiqian;Liu, Chaoqun;Li, Yan |
| Publication | Singapore, 1. Imprint: Springer
2. Springer Nature Singapore, 2024. |
| Description | XXI, 246 p. 175 illus., 150 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Written by the leading experts in the field, this book results from Vortex Workshop 2023 which took place in San Diego, the USA, on December 11???13. Vortex is ubiquitous in the universe such as tornado, hurricane, airplane tip vortex, and even star vortex in Galaxy. Vortices are also building blocks, muscles, and sinews of turbulent flows. A vortex is intuitively recognized as a rotational/swirling motion of fluids but until recently had no rigidly mathematical definition. In 1858, Helmholtz first defined vortex as composed of so-called vortex filaments, which are infinitesimal vorticity tubes, which is called as the first generation of vortex definition and identification, or G1. Although G1 has been accepted by the fluid dynamics community and almost all textbooks for over a century, we can find many immediate counterexamples, for example, in the laminar boundary layer, where the vorticity (shear) is very large near the wall, but not rotation (no vortex) exists. To solve these contradictions, many vortex criteria methods have been developed during the past 4 decades. More popular methods are represented by the Q, ???, criteria methods. These methods have achieved part of success in vortex identification, which are called the second generation of vortex identification or G2. However, G2 has several critical drawbacks. First, they are all scalars which have no rotation axis directions, but vortex is a vector. It is hard or impossible to use a scalar to represent a vector. Second, like vorticity, these criteria methods are all contaminated by shear in different degrees. Third, they are all very sensitive on threshold selections. The recently developed Liutex is called the third generation of vortex definition and identification, or G3, which is a uniquely defined vector |

| Title | Aircraft Cryogenics |
| Author(s) | Stautner, Ernst Wolfgang;Haran, Kiruba S;Ansell, Phillip J;Minas, Constantinos |
| Publication | Cham, 1. Imprint: Springer
2. Springer Nature Switzerland, 2024. |
| Description | XVI, 340 p. 278 illus., 162 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book gives a step-by-step approach to the design of a cryogenic infrastructure required for superconducting, all-electric aircraft systems which is also partially applicable to liquid hydrogen fueled subsonic and hypersonic aircraft, as well as hybrids. While there is no shortage of publications on hydrogen fueled aircraft, this book puts the past journal literature through a magnifying glass and condenses it into an engineering strategy for the next steps to enable liquid hydrogen storage and distribution in aircraft. Emphasis is placed on tank design, manufacturability, safety features, and minimum tank weight, providing a holistic focus on the logistics of hydrogen management for all major components within the aircraft as well as on future superconducting motor architecture. The intention is to fully exploit the benefits of a liquid hydrogen reservoir without any need for additional cryogenic fluids, with relevance to cooling of various superconducting components e.g., motors and superconducting cables, as well as the heat sinking of power electronics and for fueling the fuel cell stack system. A liquid hydrogen tank hold-time analysis reveals the main governing factors and describes the required efforts for minimizing onboard boil off for aircraft designs with different flight mission duration. This is followed by an outlook showing where cryotankage technology and cryogenic aircraft architecture may move within the next 20 years embedded in a green hydrogen-based economy and how basic research will need to play a major role to help us realizing these future designs by consequently eliminating whitespace within today's technology landscape. This book is also an aircraft engineering resource on composites, hydrogen properties, general aircraft materials and safety |

| Title | Satellite Equivalence Orbits : Analysis of Orbits Combining Different Motions |
| Author(s) | Jochim, Ernst Friedrich Maria |
| Publication | Cham, 1. Imprint: Springer
2. Springer Nature Switzerland, 2024. |
| Description | XX, 481 p. 132 illus., 129 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book presents the essential characteristics of the different satellite motions. Satellite motions can be classified as anomalistic, draconitic, tropical, Hansen-, Kepler-, meridional, Sun-synodical, Moon-synodical motion, depending on the relevant reference point. When two of these types of motions (in some cases even more than two) are coupled, satellite orbits are obtained, which are called equivalence orbits in this book. They share the special properties of the different coupled motions and are therefore of particular interest in the selection of special satellite orbits. In the book the author calculates mean equivalence orbits with secular perturbation formulas, as well as true equivalence orbits considering a complete orbit model including periodic motion effects. Some of the equivalence orbits can be determined unambiguously and with extremely high accuracy, they are stable in the long term. Others can only be found with low accuracy and reduced stability. The author investigates all possible combinations and the associated general equations of condition are derived in each case. Some well-known families of satellite orbits, such as the Sun-synchronous orbits, can be interpreted as mean equivalence orbits. The study of their stability is of great interest in orbit mechanics. Special applications and numerous numerical examples, graphical representations of all possible ranges of the Kepler elements, and detailed studies of the stability of particularly important equivalence orbits are carried out using the Brouwer orbit model as well as the modification by Eckstein. This lays the foundation for possible refinements using arbitrary extended orbital models and for possibly required orbital corrections. Numerous problems are to deepen the treated topics and/or to stimulate for further investigations. The book will be of interest to Astrodynamics and Aerospace Engineers as well as graduate students studying satellite orbits |

| Description | XXIII, 831 p. 232 illus., 230 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Aeroelasticity is an essential discipline for the design of airplanes, unmanned systems, and innovative configurations. This book introduces the subject of unsteady aerodynamics and dynamic aeroelasticity by presenting industry-standard techniques, such as the Doublet Lattice Method for nonplanar wing systems. ???Introduction to Unsteady Aerodynamics and Dynamic Aeroelasticity'' is a useful reference for aerospace engineers and users of NASTRAN and ZAERO but is also an excellent complementary textbook for senior undergraduate and graduate students. Fully develops the theory of acceleration potential, fundamental to the unsteady aerodynamics behind the Doublet Lattice Method; Explains fully the industry-standard unsteady aerodynamics capability: the Doublet Lattice Method; Theoretically develops various state-of-the-art methods to determine the flutter point; Clarifies the differences between ``cantilever flutter?????? and ``body freedom flutter??????; Introduces the nonlinear aeroelasticity of Joined Wings and innovative wing systems. Luciano Demasi has written a comprehensive and insightful book on aeroelasticity as practiced today. The careful and deep attention to the fundamentals and a unique and valuable discussion of the implementation of Doublet Lattice aerodynamics are special features of the book. The author also ranges over a number of additional topics including current and promising aircraft and wing concepts that bring new challenges to the aeroelastician. The student new to the topic as well as the experienced practitioner will find much to ponder and benefit from a careful reading of this text. ??? Prof. Earl Dowell, Duke University |

| Title | Navier-Stokes Turbulence : Theory and Analysis |
| Author(s) | Kollmann, Wolfgang |
| Publication | Cham, 1. Imprint: Springer
2. Springer International Publishing, 2024. |
| Description | XLV, 819 p. 163 illus., 122 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This updated/augmented second edition retains it class-tested content and pedagogy as a core text for graduate courses in advanced fluid mechanics and applied science. The new edition adds revised sections, clarification, problems, and chapter extensions including a rewritten section on Schauder bases for turbulent pipe flow, coverage of Cantwell???s mixing length closure for turbulent pipe flow, and a section on the variational Hessian. Consisting of two parts, the first provides an introduction and general theory of fully developed turbulence, where treatment of turbulence is based on the linear functional equation derived by E. Hopf governing the characteristic functional that determines the statistical properties of a turbulent flow. In this section, Professor Kollmann explains how the theory is built on divergence free Schauder bases for the phase space of the turbulent flow and the space of argument vector fields for the characteristic functional. The second segment, presented over subsequent chapters, is devoted to mapping methods, homogeneous turbulence based upon the hypotheses of Kolmogorov and Onsager, intermittency, structural features of turbulent shear flows and their recognition. Adds section on Plancherel???s theorem and a detailed problem on analytic solution of functional differential equations; Extends chapter nine on characteristic functionals to greater explain the role of convection; Reinforces concepts with problems on the theory and particular examples of turbulent flows such as periodic pipe flow. . |

| Title | Commercial Astronauts : The Next Generation of Spacefarers |
| Author(s) | Seedhouse, Erik |
| Publication | Cham, 1. Imprint: Springer
2. Springer Nature Switzerland, 2024. |
| Description | XIV, 235 p. 97 illus., 95 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | The beginning of the 2020???s witnessed dozens of commercial astronauts fly to space on a variety of vehicles. These spacecraft included SpaceX???s Crew Dragon, which supported the Inspiration4 and Axiom Space missions, Virgin Galactic???s SpaceShipTwo, which supported several suborbital science flights, and Blue Origin???s New Shepard spacecraft, which not only flew celebrities but also its fair share of commercial astronauts. The story of this new breed of spacefarer has only just begun. As evidenced by these missions, commercial spaceflight has grown beyond passengers simply traveling to space just for the ride. With orbital flights involving commercial astronauts staying in space for several days and weeks, companies such as Sierra Space, Axiom Space and Blue Origin are preparing for the next steps in commercial space travel which include the construction of orbiting habitats. But how will the opportunities for commercial astronauts develop, how will they be trained, and will this new group of astronauts evolve? This book describes how the commercial spaceflight industry is evolving, how it will continue to evolve as barriers to entry are reduced, competition grows, and costs are lowered, and how, because of these efforts, opportunities for commercial astronauts will increase |

| Title | The Spacelab Story : Science Aboard the Shuttle |
| Author(s) | Evans, Ben |
| Publication | Cham, 1. Imprint: Springer
2. Springer International Publishing, 2024. |
| Description | XXII, 433 p. 126 illus., 122 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Between 1983 and 1998, Spacelab provided NASA with a vital short-term laboratory in space. Across more than a dozen missions, Spacelab???s pressurized research modules and science pallets supported hundreds of experiments from the life to microgravity sciences, from Earth science to astrophysics and from materials processing to fluid dynamics. For the first time, The Spacelab Story sheds light on all the Spacelab missions that served as pathfinders for the eventual International Space Station, along with all the flights that never came to be. The book chronicles over two decades of service and international partnership with Germany, Japan, Canada, Russia, the member-states of the European Space Agency and others. The very same international co-operation that led to Spacelab???s genesis also conspired to create its end. Science writer Ben Evans chronicles this tumultuous history, showing how, as tensions between the superpowers cooled in the 1990s and the Shuttle came to be increasingly used to fly joint missions to Mir, many Spacelab missions were delayed and eventually cancelled. This book is a must-read for anybody interested in the science conducted aboard the Shuttle, the experimental precursors of the ISS, and the international politics surrounding NASA???s pioneering space endeavors |
