An Introduction to Compressible Flow

An Introduction to Compressible Flow, Second Edition covers the material typical of a single-semester course in compressible flow. The book begins with a brief review of thermodynamics and control volume fluid dynamics, then proceeds to cover isentropic flow, normal shock waves, shock tubes, oblique shock waves, Prandtl-Meyer expansion fans, Fanno-line flow, Rayleigh-line flow, and conical shock waves.

The book includes a chapter on linearized flow following chapters on oblique shocks and Prandtl-Meyer flows to appropriately ground students in this approximate method. It includes detailed appendices to support problem solutions and covers new oblique shock tables, which allow for quick and accurate solutions of flows with concave corners.

The book is intended for senior undergraduate engineering students studying thermal-fluids and practicing engineers in the areas of aerospace or energy conversion. This book is also useful in providing supplemental coverage of compressible flow material in gas turbine and aerodynamics courses.

《可壓縮流體力學導論，第二版》涵蓋了一學期可壓縮流體力學課程的典型內容。本書首先簡要回顧熱力學和控制體流體力學，然後介紹等熵流、正常激波、激波管、斜激波、普朗特-邁爾擴張扇、范諾線流、雷利線流和錐形激波。

本書在介紹斜激波和普朗特-邁爾流之後，還包括了一章關於線性化流的內容，以適當地為學生提供這種近似方法的基礎。它還包含詳細的附錄，以支持問題解答，並涵蓋了新的斜激波表，可快速準確地解決具有凹角的流動問題。

本書面向高年級本科工程學生，專攻熱流體力學，以及航空航天或能源轉換領域的實踐工程師。本書還可作為燃氣輪機和空氣動力學課程中可壓縮流體力學材料的補充教材。
