Elements of Numerical Methods for Compressible Flows

The purpose of this book is to present the basic elements of numerical methods for compressible flows. It is appropriate for advanced undergraduate and graduate students and specialists working in high speed flows. The focus is on the unsteady one-dimensional Euler equations which form the basis for numerical algorithms in compressible fluid mechanics. The author believes it is therefore essential to understand the development and implementation of these algorithms in their original one-dim...
