Engineering I need Russian sources (Aerodynamic and Flight Mechanics)

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around a mechanical engineering student seeking recommendations for Russian books on aerodynamics and aircraft design, particularly from authors like Tupolev and Ilyushin. The student has a foundational interest in UAVs and has read "Aircraft Design" by Daniel P. Raymer. A suggestion is made for N.F. Krasnov's two-volume work on Aerodynamics, which covers essential topics such as fluid dynamics, shock wave theory, and aerodynamic characteristics in various flow conditions. The volumes are noted for their comprehensive content, making them valuable resources for someone new to the field. Additionally, a reference to the Landau and Lifshitz series is mentioned, particularly highlighting the fluid dynamics volume as a significant theoretical resource.

Hi guys. I need ur suggestion. Firstly, (I got to say that I'm new about this topic) I'm studying mechanical engineering and It's my first year. I've never learned about fluid mechanics or termodynamic or differantial equations before but I'm dealing with Aircrafts especially UAV. I've read Aircraft design (Daniel P. Raymer) and some other small sources and I've learned a lot. I deal to make model aircraft nowadays. It's okey.
Your suggestion is related with book. I'm looking some Russian Aerodynamic or aircraft design books. Tupolev, Ilyushin etc. Can you suggest a book for me? Thank you. (Just Russian)

Well, I'm not familiar with the engineering literature on fluid dynamics, but for a theoretical physicist the immediate association with "physics textbook" it's Landau and Lifshitz 10-volume "Course of Theoretical Physics", and the fluid dynamics book (vol. 6) is just marvelous (as are all volumes except vol. 4 on QED which is a bit outdated).

Thank you so much brosky :)

The book is fascinating. If your education includes a typical math degree curriculum, with Lebesgue integration, functional analysis, etc, it teaches QFT with only a passing acquaintance of ordinary QM you would get at HS. However, I would read Lenny Susskind's book on QM first. Purchased a copy straight away, but it will not arrive until the end of December; however, Scribd has a PDF I am now studying. The first part introduces distribution theory (and other related concepts), which...
I've gone through the Standard turbulence textbooks such as Pope's Turbulent Flows and Wilcox' Turbulent modelling for CFD which mostly Covers RANS and the closure models. I want to jump more into DNS but most of the work i've been able to come across is too "practical" and not much explanation of the theory behind it. I wonder if there is a book that takes a theoretical approach to Turbulence starting from the full Navier Stokes Equations and developing from there, instead of jumping from...
