SUMMARY

The phrase "compressibility is abridged" relates to thin airfoil theory in aeronautics, indicating a context where compressibility effects are minimized or simplified. The discussion highlights the challenge of understanding this concept, as the term "abridged" suggests a reduction in complexity. Participants recommend consulting foundational texts such as "Fluid Dynamics" by FM White or "Fundamentals of Aerodynamics" by Anderson for deeper insights. Engaging with specific questions while studying these resources is encouraged for better comprehension.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of thin airfoil theory
  • Familiarity with compressibility effects in fluid dynamics
  • Basic knowledge of aerodynamics principles
  • Ability to analyze academic texts in aeronautics
NEXT STEPS
  • Read "Fluid Dynamics" by FM White for foundational concepts
  • Study "Fundamentals of Aerodynamics" by Anderson for advanced theories
  • Research compressibility effects in aerodynamics
  • Formulate specific questions based on readings for further discussion
USEFUL FOR

Aeronautics students, independent researchers in fluid dynamics, and anyone seeking to understand the principles of thin airfoil theory and compressibility in aerodynamics.

I'm doing an independent research in aeronautics (realistically I'm just learning the material on my own and testing out of it due to unforeseen circumstances last semester). One area of study that my professor advised me to research in depth was just this simple phrase "compressibility is abridged."

It sounds simple- the word abridged means "to shorten." However I haven't the slightest clue what context it relates to. I do know it pertains to thin airfoil theory (depending on how good this forum is, I may post questions about that in the near future). I've searched the entire internet and the book and I feel like I can't find anything pertaining to this idea.

Thank you in advance for any aid; and I really hope this particular proff isn't affiliated with this forum- that would be embarrassing.

Best way for you to start reading Fluid Dynamics book FM white or Anderson, the question you posted does not have any Answer, it has tonnes. I would suggest you to post some specific questions when you are reading about the topic.:smile:
