About This Book

This book was developed using material from teaching courses on fluid mechanics, high-speed flows, aerodynamics, high-enthalpy flows, experimental methods, aircraft design, heat transfer, introduction to engineering, and wind engineering. It precisely presents the theoretical and application aspects of the terms associated with these courses. It explains concepts such as cyclone, typhoon, hurricane, and tornado, by highlighting the subtle difference between them. The text comprehensively introduces the subject vocabulary of fluid mechanics for use in courses in engineering and the physical sciences.

This book
• Presents the theoretical aspects and applications of high-speed flows, aerodynamics, high-enthalpy flows, and aircraft design.
• Provides a ready reference source for readers to learn essential concepts related to flow physics, rarefied, and stratified flows.
• Comprehensively covers topics such as laser Doppler anemometer, latent heat of fusion, and latent heat of vaporisation.
• Includes schematic sketches and photographic images to equip the reader with a better view of the concepts.

This is ideal study material for senior undergraduate and graduate students in the fields of mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, flow physics, civil engineering, automotive engineering, and manufacturing engineering.
