Editorial Review:

This reference develops the fundamental concepts of compressible fluid flow by clearly illustrating their applications in real-world practice through the use of numerous worked-out examples and problems. The book covers concepts of thermodynamics and fluid mechanics which relate directly to compressible flow; discusses isentropic flow through a variable-area duct; describes normal shock waves, including moving shock waves and shock-tube analysis; explores the effects of friction and heat interaction on the flow of a compressible fluid; covers two-dimensional shock and expansion waves; provides a treatment of linearized flow; discusses unsteady wave propagation and computational methods in fluid dynamics; provides several numerical methods for solving linear and nonlinear equations encountered in compressible flow; offers modern computational methods for solving nonintegrable equations; and describes methods of measurement in high-speed flow. Suitable for the practicing engineer engaged in compressible-flow applications.

Great book horrible copy

2002-01-23
This is wonderful classic text used in Gas Dynamics classes. Well written and easy to follow. I would strongly recommend getting a copy...but not this one. Binding is listed as "Textbook" and when referenced says is is even more durable than a hardcover binding. However, upon recieving this book it is not much more than a bunch of photocopies glued together. Doubt it will last very long....spend the extra $ and get a durable copy.

Good basic book to pickup!

I used this book way back in 1995 in my last year of Mechanical Engineering. I found this book to be easy to understand, straight forward and helpful. It had alot of good examples and challenging questions at the end of each chapter. I would say that this book is suitable for someone in the industry who wants a good basic review of what they have learned. Definitely not for those higher levels of understanding.
