DESCRIPTION:
"Five Stars" according to Phoenix78. Good book. An absolutely brilliant textbook lj Modern Compressible Flow by Anderson is simply one of the best textbooks I have read during my engineering studies. It was the assigned book for my course in compressible flow and I think the highest praise I am able to give is that the book is the reason that I am now fascinated by the subject as a whole and have taken every opportunity to continue with the subject.I suspect that compressible flow could easily come across as very abstract and as merely an exercise in calculations, but Anderson manages to present the subject in a down to earth manner. He explains every concept such as total quantities . a little disappointing 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.
From 1962 to 1966, he attended the Ohio State University under the National Science Foundation and NASA Fellowships, graduating with a PhD in Aeronautical and Astronautical Engineering. He attended the University of Florida, graduating in 1959 with high honors and a Bachelor of Aeronautical Engineering Degree. He is currently the Curator for Aerodynamics at the National Air and Space Museum, Smithsonian Institution.. From 1959 to 1962, he was a Lieutenant and Task Scientist at the Aerospace Research Laboratory at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. Anderson occupied the Charles Lindbergh Cha
He attended the University of Florida, graduating in 1959 with high honors and a Bachelor of Aeronautical Engineering Degree. Anderson, Jr., was born in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, on October 1, 1937. In addition to his position as Professor of Aerospace Engineering, in 1993, he was made a full faculty member of the Committee
In keeping with previous versions, the 3rd edition uses numerous historical vignettes that show the evolution of the field. Anderson's book provides the most accessible approach to compressible flow for Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering students and professionals. 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. A new Book Website will contain all problem solutions for instructors.. 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
