Anderson, John D.: University of Maryland-College Park
Summary
Anderson's book provides the most accessible approach to compressible flow for Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering
students. In keeping with previous versions, the 3rd edition uses numerous historical vignettes that show the evolution
of the field. New pedagogical features--"Roadmaps" showing the development of a given topic, and "Design
Boxes" giving examples of design decisions--will make the 3rd edition even more student-friendly than before.
The 3rd edition strikes a careful balance between classical methods of determining compressible flow, and modern
numerical and computer techniques (such as CFD) now used in industry & research. A new Book Website will contain
all problem solutions for instructors, and extended information on CFD.
New to this Edition:
Integration of modern computer methods, especially Computerized Fluid Dynamics (CFD) in compressible flow applications.
New "Design Box" and "Road Map" features included throughout the book.
Book Website that contains instructor solutions; and coverage of CFD methods/examples.
Features:
Historical vignettes show the development of the field.
