About this book
understood with only a basic grasp of mathematics.
The book particularly focuses on shock waves, offering a unique approach to the derivation of shock wave relations from conservation relations in fluids together with a contact surface, slip line or surface; in addition, the thrust of a rocket engine and that of an air-breathing engine are also formulated. Furthermore, the book covers important fundamentals of various aspects of physical fluid dynamics and engineering, including one-dimensional unsteady flows, and
two-dimensional flows, in which obliqueshock waves and Prandtl-Meyer expansion can be observed.
