A selection of annotated references to unclassified reports and journal articles that were introduced into the NASA scientific and technical information system and announced in Scientific and technical aerospace reports (STAR) and International aerospace abstracts (IAA).

The unique characteristics of V/STOL flight bring with it unique aerodynamic challenges. Intended for the working professional or those in engineering graduate programs involved with V/STOL, this book provides information on the aerodynamic effects induced by the exiting flows of jet and fan powered V/STOL aircraft in hover and transition flight.

Recorded in this book is recent research on the development of efficient computational techniques and their application to fluid-flow problems of engineering and scientific importance. It contains invited and contributed papers in the following general research areas: Boundary Layer Flow, Combustion and Chemically Reacting Flows, Free Surface Flows, Geophysical Flows, Inviscid Flow, Meteorological Flows, Non-Newtonian Flow, Numerical Methods and Analysis, Porous Media, Separated Flow, Shallow Water Problems, Shock Wave Interactions, Stability and Transition, Supercomputers, Supersonic and Transonic Flow, Thermal Convection, Turbulent Flows and Modelling, Viscous Flow and Vortex Flow.
