Is the book "Fundamentals of Aerodynamics" in SI units?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the differences between the "international edition" or "international student edition" of "Fundamentals of Aerodynamics" by John Anderson and the US version, particularly regarding unit systems. Participants note that both versions include SI (metric) and English (imperial) units, leading to confusion about what distinguishes the SI version. It is highlighted that even in the SI edition, English units appear, suggesting that the content is largely the same across both editions. The conversation also touches on the practical reality that aerospace professionals need to be familiar with both unit systems due to their prevalence in the industry, particularly in aviation contexts where English units are still commonly used.

I guess the "normal version" doesn't have SI units?
I now compare pdf of both versions everything is the same, both versions use SI and english units..:oldconfused:
 
By the time you are actually employed in aerospace, you will know both systems by heart and will (roughly) convert between them subconsciously. As long as so many altimeters are in feet and that is the unit that typical pilots in some large countries understand, those units will remain.
 

Thread 'Books with a more theoretical approach to turbulence and DNS'

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...

Thread 'Blennow to follow up Altland?'

TLDR: is Blennow "Mathematical Methods for Physics and Engineering" a good follow-up to Altland "Mathematics for physicists"? Hello everybody, returning to physics after 30-something years, I felt the need to brush up my maths first. It took me 6 months and I'm currently more than half way through the Altland "Mathematics for physicists" book, covering the math for undergraduate studies at the right level of sophystication, most of which I howewer already knew (being an aerospace engineer)...
