Synopsis

This is an introductory compressible flow book. The authors build from thermodynamic principles and conservation principles to compressible flow concepts, and cover wave processes early in the text. The book concludes with a chapter that introduces high temperature gas dynamics, particular attention is paid to distinctions in the hierarchy of compressible flow descriptions beyond calorically perfect.

About this title

From the Back Cover

Key Benefit: Compressible flow work has traditionally involved arithmetical drudgery and time-consuming table and chart lookups. This modern, applications-oriented introduction to compressible flow provides a welcome new approach by exploring the full range of fundamental and advanced topics, together with the full integration of software elements into both the narrative and problem solutions. Key Topics: Coverage builds from fundamental thermodynamic and conservation principles to compressible flow concepts -- waves in compressible flow, one-dimensional simple and generalized flows, multi-dimensional flows, and high temperature gas dynamics. The applications software is designed for work with thermally perfect, but calorically imperfect gases, and provides flexibility for a wider selection of gase (based on the input of the ratios of specific heats). Market: For aerospace and mechanical engineers interested in compressible fluid dynamics.
