This book on Gas Dynamics provides a comprehensive introduction to the behavior of compressible flows, emphasizing both fundamental theory and practical engineering applications. It begins with the essential concepts of thermodynamics and fluid mechanics, including the speed of sound, Mach number, and the governing conservation equations of mass, momentum, and energy. The text then develops the analysis of isentropic flows, normal and oblique shock waves, expansion waves, and compressible flow in ducts and nozzles. Special attention is given to applications in aerospace engineering, such as aircraft aerodynamics, high-speed trains, supersonic missiles, and propulsion systems. Each chapter includes applied exercises with detailed solutions to strengthen analytical skills and connect theory to real-world problems. The book is designed for Master’s and engineering students, providing a solid foundation for advanced studies in aerodynamics, propulsion, and high-speed flow phenomena.
