Print on Demand. This book explores the innovative application of computational fluid dynamics in the design and evaluation of transonic compressors, vital components in aircraft engines. It presents a novel method developed by the author to simulate the complex flow around the compressor blades, taking into account viscous effects and shock waves. The method is applied to analyze the impact of blade geometry, rotational speed, and inlet conditions on compressor performance. Through numerous numerical experiments, the author illustrates how the computational model can be used to understand the complex interactions between the flow and the blade, leading to improved compressor designs with enhanced efficiency and reduced noise. The book's findings contribute to the advancement of turbomachinery design and provide valuable insights for researchers and practitioners in the field of computational fluid dynamics. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.…

Explore how three‑dimensional transonic compressors are modeled and solved using a new numerical approach.
This work presents a practical study of compressor and propeller blade flow, using simplified physics to focus on how rotation affects relative flow around blades. It ties together theory, grid generation, and computational results to show what drives performance in transonic regimes.
The book introduces the physical setup of rotors, stators, and blade cascades, and explains the assumptions that lead to a velocity potential formulation. It covers how a polytropic, nonviscous gas with essentially constant entropy is used to simplify the equations of motion, and it discusses how weak shocks are handled with artificial viscosity. The text also describes a transformation that maps blade surfaces to a plane to handle periodicity, and explains the grid design and 3D to 2D comparisons used to study the influence of rotation speed on the flow around blades.
- How the governing equations are reduced to a solvable potential equation for steady and rotating frames
- How grid generation and coordinate transforms enable periodic blade analysis
- The numerical scheme and typical run details, including iteration counts and grid sizes
- What the results reveal about 3D effects versus two-dimensional cascades and practical code usage
Ideal for readers of engineering CFD and turbomachinery, this edition combines method, implementation notes, and example outcomes to support practical understanding of transonic compressor behavior.

Other policies
Please note that we cannot accept cancellation requests once an order has been placed.
All Forgotten Books titles are printed on demand. The moment an order is submitted, it is automatically transmitted to our distributor and then forwarded to the printer, where it enters production. This process begins within minutes and is entirely automated.
A cancellation, however, is a manual, multi-step request that must pass through several systems. By the time such a request reaches the appropriate stage, the book has almost always been printed, packed, or already dispatched, which makes cancellation impossible.
For this reason, we kindly ask that you double-check the title, edition, and your shipping details before placing an order.
If you change your mind after ordering, you are welcome to return the book once it arrives, and a refund will be issued in accordance with AbeBooks’ return policy.
Please also make sure your address is correct before ordering as we will no be able to intervene and make changes before the book is shipped.
We can provide digital samples for all our print books ahead, so don't hesitate to reach out.
Returns
As a small publisher we do not have the facilities to resell returned books, so any returned book will be recycled. If the book is damaged or defective please continue with the return process, and thank you for letting us know so that we can improve our products. If you’re returning for another reason, however, please consider whether you could donate or gift the book instead so that it avoids the waste pile.
Thank you in advance!
