The response to the first three editions of Modern Compressible Flow:
With Historical Perspective, from students, faculty, and practicing
professionals has been overwhelmingly favorable. Therefore, this new
edition preserves much of this successful content while adding important
new components. It preserves the author's informal writing style that
talks to the reader, that gains the readers' interest, and makes the
study of compressible flow an enjoyable experience. Moreover, it blends
the classical nature of the subject with modern aspects of computational
fluid dynamics (CFD) and high temperature gas dynamics so important to
modern applications of compressible flow. In short, this book is a
unique teaching and learning experience.
