Compressible flow

OSTI ID:6590140
This book is somewhat broader in scope than most works on compressible flow. In addition to the conventional material on perfect gas flow, it contains chapters on the Navier-Stokes equations, transonic flow, laminar boundary layers, turbulent boundary layers, real gas effects and computational methods. In the basic theory the approach has been to derive the equations in their most general form first and then to apply the results to particular cases. Thus, the momentum, energy, and continuity equations are first derived for three-dimensional unsteady flow and the results are then reduced to the particular cases of quasi-one-dimensional steady flow, steady two- and three-dimensional flow, unsteady one-dimensional flow, and normal and oblique shocks. In order to make the derivations more readily comprehensible, they are presented in more detail than usual. Every attempt has been made to discuss the physical significance of the derivations as opposed to a merely formal presentation of the mathematics. The derivation of the Navier-Stokes equation is presented in some detail in a manner which, it is hoped, will enable the reader to readily grasp the significance of this important equation. In the chapters on transonic flow, laminar boundary layers, and turbulent boundary layers, the most important theories are discussed at some length. Emphasis is placed on presenting experimental results as well as theoretical results as checks on the validity of the theories. The properties of real, as opposed to ideal gases are discussed in detail, as are flows where real gas effects are significant. Finally, a chapter on numerical methods is presented, since numerical analysis has become an indispensable part of the solution of problems in compressible flow.
