Computation of Hypersonic Axially Symmetric Flow at Low Mach Numbers (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Explore how complex flow is modeled and solved for axially symmetric bodies at low Mach numbers. This rigorous study presents the mathematical foundation, including the equations of motion and their reduction to a characteristic normal form. It also dives into shock conditions, shock shapes, and how these influence the flow field around a body.

The book explains both two- and three-dimensional approaches, highlighting when real versus complex characteristics occur and how analytic extension helps keep the problem well posed. It discusses the method of characteristics, its numerical implementation, and the challenges of stability and singularities in subsonic and transonic regimes. Readers will see how shock shape choices affect solution regions and the presence of hidden regions, envelopes, and limiting lines.

• Derivation of the governing equations for steady, compressible, inviscid, axially symmetric flow


• Shock conditions, shape selection, and their impact on the solution region


• Comparative methods: characteristic normal form versus a direct three-dimensional numerical approach


• Practical insights into stability criteria, data extension into the complex plane, and handling low Mach number flows

Ideal for readers of advanced fluid dynamics and computational methods who seek a thorough, math‑driven treatment of hypersonic flow problems.
