About The Book
"Mathematical Theory of Compressible Fluid Flow" is the final work of Richard von Mises, a pioneer in statistics, probability theory, and fluid mechanics. This influential text, left unfinished upon his sudden death, was completed in accordance with his original plans. The first three chapters, written by von Mises, are complemented by a survey of the theory of steady plane flow.
The book provides an in-depth exploration of compressible fluid flow, covering fundamental concepts such as general theorems, conservation equations, waves, shocks, and nonisentropic flows. Aimed at advanced undergraduate and graduate students, as well as professionals in the field, it offers a clear and thorough introduction to high-speed flows.
Von Mises emphasizes both conceptual and mathematical fundamentals, including the novel concept of a specifying equation, which clarifies the role of thermodynamics in compressible fluid mechanics. The theory of characteristics is given a remarkably complete and accessible treatment, with applications that extend to shock theory as an asymptotic phenomenon.
This text serves as an invaluable resource for those studying fluid mechanics, providing both theoretical insight and practical applications in the study of compressible flows.
