Print on Demand. This book delves into the complex world of supersonic flow past blunt bodies, an area of great importance in understanding phenomena such as the shockwaves created by supersonic aircraft. The author presents a detailed analysis of the mathematical equations that govern such flows, offering a comprehensive treatment of the Cauchy problem for the flow and body. Notably, the book employs complex extension and difference schemes to derive numerical solutions to the equations, a significant contribution to the field. The author's work provides a solid foundation for further research in supersonic flows and expands our understanding of the intricate interactions between shockwaves and blunt bodies. 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.

How to solve the flow around a two‑dimensional blunt body when the shock and the flow interact in complex ways.
This book explains practical methods for predicting the flow and wake when the shock wave is unknown and must be determined along with the body. It compares different formulations, including a first‑order system and a velocity–stream function approach, and shows how extending one independent variable into the complex domain can render the equations hyperbolic and the Cauchy problem well posed. The treatments include both theory and concrete numerical schemes, with attention to stability and accuracy.
Readers will see how difference schemes are built and tested, including how to achieve high precision on a challenging hypersonic problem. The work also covers computational challenges, such as handling the sonic line and ensuring convergence against experimental data.
- Three formulations of the problem and why one helps near the sonic line.
- How complex extension makes the flow equations more tractable for numerical solution.
- Construction and stability analysis of second‑order difference schemes.
- Practical results for Mach 6 flow and discussion of accuracy against data.
Ideal for readers of advanced computational fluid dynamics and hypersonic flow analysis looking for concrete methods and real‑world results.

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!
