Description and Table of Contents

Description

This text develops the fundamental concepts and governing equations of compressible flow, and illustrates their applications. This edition features expanded coverage of unsteady wave propagation and computational methods in fluid dynamics. There is also an increased number of examples and problems. Modern computational techniques are used in parametric studies of selected problems to give an intuitive understanding of the problem and to enhance problem-solving abilities.
