Description

This book offers comprehensive coverage of compressible flow phenomena�and their applications, and is intended for undergraduate/graduate�students, practicing professionals, and researchers interested in the�topic. Thanks to the clear explanations provided of a wide range of�basic principles, the equations and formulas presented here can be� understood with only a basic grasp of mathematics. The book particularly focuses on shock waves, offering a unique approach to the derivation of shock wave relations from conservation relations in fluids together with a contact surface, slip line or surface; in addition, the thrust of a rocket engine and that of an air-breathing engine are also formulated. Furthermore, the book covers important fundamentals of various aspects of physical fluid dynamics and engineering, including one-dimensional unsteady flows, and� two-dimensional flows, in which obliqueshock waves and Prandtl-Meyer expansion can be observed.Typham this is the title: Compressible Fluid Dynamics and Shock Waves
