Synopsis

Explore the fundamentals of how gases move and interact with objects at high speed. This rigorous study unveils a kinetic theory approach to steady gas flows, bridging from fundamental equations to practical approximations used in gas dynamics. Readers will see how classical ideas are extended with modern methods to describe drag, lift, heat addition, and boundary layers.

The book surveys the transition from Euler equations to more complete models, showing how solutions change from subsonic to supersonic regimes and how viscosity shapes the wake and Mach lines. It speaks to both the mathematical structure and the physical intuition behind high-speed flows, making complex concepts accessible with careful explanations and grounded results.

- Understand how the fundamental solution is derived and how mass, momentum, and energy constraints shape the flow.
- Learn how different speed regimes affect the character of the governing equations and the resulting flow patterns.
- See how higher-order corrections lead toward Navier–Stokes behavior and how transport coefficients arise.
- Explore the role of boundary layers and the impact of lift and heat addition on the wake and surrounding fluid.

Ideal for readers of advanced fluid dynamics, kinetic theory, and applied mathematics, this edition provides a clear path from core principles to practical modeling of steady gas flows.
