Product Description This new text provides clear explanations of the physical phenomena encountered in compressible fluid flow by providing more practical applications, more worked examples, and more detail about the underlying assumptions than other texts. Its broad topic coverage includes a thorough review of the fundamentals, a wide array of applications, and unique coverage of hypersonic flow. This is the ideal text for compressible fluid flow or gas dynamics courses found in mechanical or aerospace engineering programs. | ||

alot of typos Best book I have found on compressible flow. Easy to read and understand. Everything is derived. A must-have for those studying fluids. Only down side is that there are alot of typos. | ||
Comprehensive Introduction to 1-D Compressible Fluid Flow This is the second textbook by Oosthuizen that I've used and it provides a good and comprehensive introduction to 1-D compressible fluid flow. Oosthuizen develops all of the fundamental equations in a straight forward manner and there are a sufficient number of worked examples that are oriented towards applications in other fields of engineering, not just aerodynamics. Each flow regime is developed separately to facilitate the student's comprehension of the subject starting with isentropic flow, then developing normal, oblique shock theory, and expansion waves, followed by flows with: variable area, friction, and then heat addition before applying these concepts to more complex flow regimes. There is an introduction to 2-D flow, hypersonic flow, and numerical applications. Compressible flow tables for air are provided as appendices. Be careful using the software as it has been reported that there are some errors in it and some of the examples are incorrect: e.g. E 10.6 which incorrectly assumes dA is constant. This review applies to the paperback edition. | ||
