Book to learn Vortex Methods from.
(OP)
Hello everyone,
Does anyone know of a good book to learn vortex methods from? I have tried learning about the methods from the book Vortex Methods-Theory and Practice written by Petros Koumoutsakos & Georges-Henri Cottet, but I'm unable to understand the fundamentals when reading that book. I'm looking for a book like John D Anderson's Fundamentals of Aerodynamics. I want the book to be written in a way that a layperson would understand, like the book 'Div, Grad, Curl and all that' by H M Schey.
Thanks for your answers everyone!

RE: Book to learn Vortex Methods from.
The other,I like is called "Wing Theory", by Robert T. Jones,Princeton,1990.But hold on tight,this was written by a country boy ,without a PhD,all self taught mind you,you need to be on the same level as he,which it don't happen often,but it's all there,you just need the drive to wade through it,good luck.
Drs, Anderson and Dr.Schey are the exceptions to the rules in explaining things not us mortals to grasp,wish there were more of them around,but they're far and few between,hope this helps.

Where was that book when I was in school???
When I took those classes, I had no idea what they were for. No explanation forthcoming from the assigned textbook or the prof, either.
