“The book is a course in gas dynamics, based on lectures by the author. The aim is declared as a complete textbook for undergraduate course in gas dynamics, and the aim has been reached. … The book contains as appendices tables, with detailed characteristics (temperature, density, pressure, speed of sound) of the standard atmosphere at the 5 m vertical grid up to 50 km. Other tables assist in numerical study of the described phenomena.” (Ilya A. Chernov, zbMATH 1544.76001, 2024)
Fundamentals of Gas Dynamics
von Mrinal KaushikThis textbook for courses in gas dynamics will be of interest to students and teachers in aerospace and mechanical engineering disciplines. It provides an in-depth explanation of compressible flows and ties together various concepts to build an understanding of the fundamentals of gas dynamics. The book is written in an easy to understand manner, with pedagogical aids such as chapter overviews, summaries, and descriptive and objective questions to help students evaluate their progress. The book contains example problems as well as end-of-chapter exercises. Detailed bibliographies are included at the end of each chapter to provide students with further resources. The book can be used as a core text in engineering coursework and also in professional development courses.
