Introduction to Transonic Aerodynamics

Introduction to Transonic Aerodynamics by Roelof Vos, Saeed Farokhi.

Written to teach students the nature of transonic flow and its mathematical foundation, this book offers a much-needed introduction to transonic aerodynamics. The authors present a quantitative and qualitative assessment of subsonic, supersonic, and transonic flow around bodies in two and three dime...
