Introduction to the mathematical theory of compressible flow.

Author(s) : NOVOTNÝ A., STRASKRABA I.

Type of monograph: Book

Summary

This book, published in the "Oxford Lecture Series in Mathematics and its Applications", provides a comprehensive introduction to the mathematical theory of compressible flow, describing both inviscid and viscous compressible flows, which are governed by the Euler and the Navier-Stokes equations respectively. The method of presentation allows readers with different backgrounds to focus on various modules of the material, either in part or more fully. Chapters include detailed heuristic arguments providing motivation for technical aspects that are rigorously presented later on in the text. These parts are presented in a textbook style with auxiliary material in supporting sections and appendices. The book includes a rich index and extensive bibliography, thus allowing for quick orientation among the vast collection of literature on the mathematical theory of compressible flow.
