Usually ships in 1 business days | | | | | | Anderson's book provides the most accessible approach to compressible flow for Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering students and professionals. 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 practical and user-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 widely in industry & research. A new Book Website will contain all problem solutions for instructors. | | | |

 The best engineering book I have ever read Apr 20, 2001
This book was an indispensible study tool for my PhD qualifying exam in high temp gas dynamics. Before reading this book I had never had a formal compressible flow class and I think that it covers the fundamental concepts of frozen compressible flow very well. If you don't have an excellent understanding of normal and oblique shocks, expansion fans, nozzle flow, blunt body flow and shock tubes after reading this book, you haven't been paying attention!

 a little disappointing Jan 19, 2000
By Mauro Darida
Well written classic supersonic theory, but "flavor" of numerical methods is given only : I think a college textbook of that price should give more than just flavor. Classic supersonic theory is not complete and needs to be integrated with other prior classic books (i.e. Ferri, Aerodynamics of supersonic flows). Overally, a little disappointing about the quantity of information given.

 Heavy in math, but illustrations and commentary helps. Sep 15, 1999
As it must be, this book is heavy in math, yet does not treat the subject just from a mathmatics point of view. It is filled with illustrations, photographs and commentary to help explain the subject matter. The only thing that seems to be missing is a math symbols list! It's a good text, well written and worth the money.

Fantastic Book!!! Aug 12, 2010
By Britton Bush
"Britton Bush"
Anderson takes a very interesting topic and explains it in a very detailed yet entertaining way. The text isn't boring to read... ! Let me repeat that this engineering text is fun to read. The historical inserts in each section were also quite interesting. For the most part the problems were doable and have some sort of application incorporated in them. Pictures, diagrams and graphs are all very useful and relevent. I was grateful to have this book as my gas dynamics undergaduat book, but I recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn, or study compressible flow.

Excellent Reference on Compressible Flow Apr 02, 2009
By A. Weaver
Anderson has a writing style that is easy to read and understand. This in combination with his expertise in the field makes this book readable and yet still detailed. I recommend this book to those who are starting out learning compressible flows, to those who need a stronger foundation on the physical phenomena and derivations, or to those who just think this sounds like fun.
