Description Modern Compressible Flow: With Historical Perspective, Fourth Edition, is designed to be read and digested by the reader. The author's informal writing style talks to readers, piques their interest, and makes the study of compressible flow a relevant and enjoyable experience. Modern Compressible Flow blends the classical nature of compressible flow with modern aspects of computational fluid dynamics and high-temperature gas dynamics that are so important to modern applications.
New to the Fourth Edition
Hints have been added to end-of-chapter problems to provide readers with suggestions on how to solve the problems and demonstrate how answers can be mutually supportive of each other
New homework problems
New section on hypersonic vehicles to reflect burgeoning research on hypersonic flow
Hallmark Features
Easily accessible and understandable writing style
Combination of classical and modern aspects of computational fluid dynamics
Aimed at supporting both senior undergraduates and first-year graduates
Amply illustrated with figures and photographs
