Editorial Reviews:

Product Description
Anderson's book provides the most accessible approach to compressible flow for Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering students and professionals. In keeping with previous versions, the 3rd edition uses numerous historical vignettes that show the evolution of the field.

New pedagogical features--"Roadmaps" showing the development of a given topic, and "Design Boxes" giving examples of design decisions--will make the 3rd edition even more practical and user-friendly than before.

The 3rd edition strikes a careful balance between classical methods of determining compressible flow, and modern numerical and computer techniques (such as CFD) now used widely in industry & research.

A new Book Website will contain all problem solutions for instructors.

5 out of 5 stars Fantastic Book!!!   August 12, 2010
Britton Bush (Detroit, MI USA)
Anderson takes a very interesting topic and explains it in a very detailed yet entertaining way. The text isn't boring to read... ! Let me repeat that this engineering text is fun to read. The historical inserts in each section were also quite interesting. For the most part the problems were doable and have some sort of application incorporated in them. Pictures, diagrams and graphs are all very useful and relevent. I was grateful to have this book as my gas dynamics undergaduat book, but I recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn, or study compressible flow.

I really liked the fact that the book came within 3 days. The book came as was described by the seller and thought that it was in good condition. The seller did a great job in shipping the book right away.

Item is what I wanted and it shipped quickly. The corners came bent though but not a huge issue


5 out of 5 stars Excellent Reference on Compressible Flow   April 2, 2009
A. Weaver (West Lafayette, IN)
Anderson has a writing style that is easy to read and understand. This in combination with his expertise in the field makes this book readable and yet still detailed. I recommend this book to those who are starting out learning compressible flows, to those who need a stronger foundation on the physical phenomena and derivations, or to those who just think this sounds like fun.
