Aero-Optical Effects 1st Edition

Capture the cutting edge of light and high-speed flow with Aero-Optical Effects, 1st Edition by Stanislav Gordeyev, Eric J. Jumper, and Matthew R. Whiteley. This definitive text translates complex aero-optical phenomena into practical insight for engineers, scientists, and advanced students working at the intersection of fluid dynamics and optical propagation.

Begin with clear, engaging explanations of how turbulent boundary layers, shock-induced density gradients, and shear layers distort lasers and imaging through high-speed airflows. The book balances rigorous theory with real-world relevance—covering experimental methods, modeling approaches, and the latest advances in adaptive optics and wavefront correction. Detailed discussions show how aero-optical effects impact airborne imaging, directed-energy systems, remote sensing, and hypersonic vehicle design.

What makes this volume essential is its practical focus: design guidance for minimizing optical degradation, comparative analyses of mitigation strategies, and worked examples that bridge laboratory research to field applications. Whether you’re developing sensor suites for UAVs, improving laser propagation for defense, or researching atmospheric turbulence at universities and labs, you’ll find actionable techniques and up-to-date references.

Globally relevant, this resource supports practitioners across North America, Europe, and Asia—ideal for aerospace engineers, optical physicists, and graduate programs. Clear figures, authoritative authorship, and a modern perspective ensure the book serves both as a textbook and a professional reference.
