Gas dynamics Book

Gas Dynamics covers all the material required for mainstream introductory courses in Advanced Fluid Mechanics, and Compressible Fluid Flow. In order to ensure complete understanding of the physical behaviour of compressible fluid flow and the principles underlying modern-day industrial experience and techniques, the authors begin with basic one-dimensional steady flow and progress to introductory two-dimensional flows and unsteady flows. Applications cover aerodynamics, turbomachinery, gas turbines and common engineering designs. Each chapter begins with basic principles, provides full derivation of results, explores the theory via worked problems and exercises (answers provided in a separate solutions manual), and has been extensively class-tested.
