Compressible and Irrotational Flow

Course Description

This course introduces the theory of compressible and irrotational flows (potential theory). It deals with steady and unsteady supersonic flows, compression shock waves and expansion waves, oblique and detached shock waves, flows around lifting surfaces and added masses.
