Shock Wave Dynamics: Derivatives and Related Topics

By George Emanuel

A useful reference for professionals and students in aerospace and aeronautical engineering as well as in mechanical engineering, this book covers general jump conditions, two-dimensional/axisymmetric formulation, derivatives for a two-dimensional/axisymmetric shock with a uniform freestream, derivative applications, vorticity and its substantial derivative, shock wave triple-point morphology, derivatives when the upstream flow is nonuniform, and general derivatives formulation, including for an unsteady shock. Aside from derivatives, the book extensively covers shock-generated vorticity and a novel analysis of triple points, both analyses accompanied by a wide-ranging parametric study.
