Supersonic Flow and Shock Waves (Applied Mathematical Sciences) (v. 21)
Richard Courant,K.O. Friedrichs | 1977-02-03 00:00:00 | Springer | 464 | Mathematics
The Springer edition of this book is an unchanged reprint of Courant and Friedrich's classical treatise which was first published in 1948. The basic research for it took place during World War II, but there are many aspects which still make the book interesting as a text and as a reference. It treats basic aspects of the dynamics of compressible fluids in mathematical form, and attempts to present a systematic theory of nonlinear wave propagation, particularly in relation to gas dynamics. Written in the form of an advanced textbook, it accounts for classical as well as some fairly recent developments. The authors intend their audience to be engineers, physicists and mathematicians alike.
Reviews
Title self-explanatory. This is a standard reference for all of shock wave theory. Many of the mathematical methods in the book are now obsolete. i.e. We do things computationally now. Still worth having on your book shelf. Excellent coverage of characteristic rays. I have made "powerpoint" presentations based on the material in this book, so it must be worth something.
