Compressible fluid dynamics and shock waves
By: Sasoh, Akihiro.
Publisher: Singapore Springer 2020Description: xii, 276p.ISBN: 9789811505034.Subject(s): Shock waves | Fluid dynamicsDDC classification: 620.1064 | Sa78c Summary: 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 oblique shock waves and Prandtl-Meyer expansion can be observed.| Item type | Current location | Collection | Call number | Status | Date due | Barcode | Item holds |
