Fundamentals of Gas Dynamics

The unique feature of the book is the emphasis on both the mathematical and physical aspects of compressible flows. The subject matter is presented in increasing order of complexity, starting from simple one dimensional flows through quasi one dimensional flows to oblique shocks and Prandtl Meyer flow.

Fundamentals of Gas Dynamics

Overview

Fundamentals of Gas Dynamics

This book is intended for Undergraduate and First year Post graduate students in the disciplines of Mechanical and Aerospace engineering. Also, scientists and engineers working in the areas of aerospace propulsion and gas dynamics should find this book to be a valuable addition to their collection of books on the subject matter. The unique feature of the book is the emphasis on both the mathematical and physical aspects of compressible flows. The subject matter is presented in increasing order of complexity, starting from simple one dimensional flows through quasi one dimensional flows to oblique shocks and Prandtl Meyer flow. The treatment interleaves mathematical development of the concepts and physical insights. Worked examples and exercise problems have almost all been drawn from practical applications in propulsion and gas dynamics. These are comprehensive and are formulated to test the understanding of the subject matter and thus serve as a self-checfor the reader.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR


Dr. V. Babu is currently an Associate Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at IIT Madras. He received his B.E. in Mechanical Engineering from REC Trichy in 1985 and Ph. D from the Ohio State University in 1991. He worked as a Post-Doctoral researcher at the Ohio State University from 1991 to 1995. He was a Technical Specialist at the Ford Scientific Research Lab, Dearborn, Michigan from 1995 to 1998. He joined IIT Madras at the end of 1998. He received the Henry Ford Technology Award in 1998 for the development and deployment of a virtual wind tunnel. He has four U.S. patents to his credit. He has published technical papers on simulations of fluid flows including plasmas and non-equilibrium flows, computational aerodynamics and aero acoustics, scientific computing and ramjet, scramjet engines. His primary research specialization is CFD and he is currently involved in the simulation of high speed reacting flows, prediction of jet noise, simulation of fluid flows using the lattice Boltzmann method and high performance computing.
