The discipline of aerodynamic force analysis is usually discussed in dedicated chapters of classical fluid–mechanics textbooks, often with focus on specific approaches or methodologies only. Both experimental and numerical applications are addressed, and a wide variety of CFD test cases are analysed into details using cutting-edge methods. Furthermore, this book also addresses some open questions pertaining to current Lamb vector methods, and a novel formulation for thrust\/drag bookkeeping is proposed for viscous unsteady flow. All contributions of the book, particularly the proposed unified theory, are pivotal advancements in the field of aircraft drag analysis. The proposed dissertation was reviewed by two independent referees, full professors from U.S. universities.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; color: #1f4e79; mso-themecolor: accent1; mso-themeshade: 128; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-fareast-language: EN-IN;\"\u003eBoth accepted the submitted manuscript in its original version, without requiring any modifications.

After graduating cum laude in aerospace engineering at the University of Naples Federico II in 2008, his professional career started on the industrial side and includes a three-years experience in the high-technology research group of Piaggio Aero Industries. During the last decades, he was involved in several EC-funded research programs, also with leadership responsibilities. In 2017 and in 2019, he was awarded by the Association of European Research Establishments in Aeronautics (EREA) with the winner prize at the traditional annual best paper competition. He achieved with honours his Ph.D. in Industrial Engineering at the University of Naples Federico II, where he is member of the Theoretical and Applied Aerodynamic Research Group (TAARG).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e29 August 2026\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpringer Nature Switzerland\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpringer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9783032329011\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e355\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Springer Nature Switzerland","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50804807794828,"sku":"9783032329011","price":224.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783032329011.jpg?v=1781782892","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783032329011","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
