Introduction to Compressible Fluid Flow – Patrick H. Oosthuizen, William E. Carscallen – 2nd Edition

Introduction to Compressible Fluid Flow, Second Edition offers extensive coverage of the physical phenomena experienced in compressible flow. Updated and revised, the Second Edition provides a detailed explanation of the assumptions used in compressible flow analysis. Develops in students an understanding of what causes compressible flows to differ from incompressible flows and how they can be analyzed. This book also offers a solid foundation for more advanced and focused study. The book begins with discussions of the analysis of isentropic, wave-like flows normal and oblique shock and shock waves Final chapters deal with nozzle characteristics, friction effects, heat exchange effects, hypersonic flow, high-temperature gas effects, and fluid flows. low density.

This book applies real world applications and pays more attention to supporting software and its practical application. Includes numerical results obtained using modern commercial CFD (Computer Fluid Dynamics) code to illustrate the type of results that can be obtained using such code Replaces BASIC language programs with MATLAB® routines Provides COMPROP2 software that readers can use to make compressible flow calculations Additional problems have been added and non-numeric problems have been included to illustrate practical applications. A solutions manual is available that contains complete solutions to all the problems in this book. The manual incorporates the same problem-solving methodology that was adopted in the practical examples in this book. It also provides summaries of the main equations developed in each chapter. An interactive computer program also accompanies this book.”
