Description

Book Synopsis
The purpose of this book is to present numerical methods for compressible flows. It is appropriate for advanced undergraduate and graduate students and specialists working in high speed flows. The focus is on the unsteady one-dimensional Euler equations which form the basis for numerical algorithms in compressible fluid mechanics.

Trade Review
Review of the hardback: '… this is a clear and concise book on key elements of an important set of numerical methods for simulating flows with shocks. I am very glad to have it on my bookshelf.' Theoretical and Computational Fluid Dynamics
