The Dynamics and Thermodynamics of Compressible Fluid Flow, Volume 1

By Ascher H. Shapiro

Book Overview

Explore fluid dynamics from both a theoretical and empirical perspective

The engineering science of fluid dynamics is ever changing, with the very foundations of the field based on both theory and ongoing experimentation. The Dynamics and Thermodynamics of Compressible Fluid Flow thoroughly addresses all topics germane to the study of fluid dynamics. The book also further explores the mechanisms by which progress in the field has been driven by applying theoretical analysis to the design of new experiments and by interpreting experimental results within the framework of existing theoretical knowledge.

Customer Reviews

The best book on compressible fluid flow.

This is a very good book on compressible fluid flow. It shows you the mecanism of this kind of fluid flow in such a way that it becomes very understandable. This is a very good reference to lern the basis for applications such as gas turbines and jet propulsion, for exemple.
