Modern Compressible Flow With Historical Perspective

---

Modern Compressible Flow With Historical Perspective by John D. Anderson Jr. provides a comprehensive introduction to the principles, mathematics, and physical phenomena of compressible fluid flow. The text develops a clear foundation in one-dimensional flows, normal and oblique shock waves, expansion waves, and the behavior of supersonic and hypersonic flows. Anderson integrates historical context throughout the book, linking major theories and discoveries to the scientists who developed them, allowing readers to appreciate both the technical evolution and human story behind compressible aerodynamics.

Emphasizing physical intuition as well as analytical methods, the book presents detailed derivations, practical examples, and engineering applications ranging from nozzle flows and shock interactions to high-temperature gas dynamics. Designed for both students and practitioners in aerospace engineering, the text balances rigorous theory with accessibility, making it a foundational reference for understanding the behavior of gases at high speeds.
