Shock wave dynamics : derivatives and related topics An important reference for professionals and students in Aerospace and Aeronautical Engineering as well as in Mechanical Engineering this book covers general jump conditions; two dimensional axisymmetric formulation; derivatives for a two dimensional axisymmetric shock with a uniform freestream; derivative applications; vorticity and its substantial derivative; shock wave triple point morphology; derivatives when the upstream flow is nonuniform; and general derivatives formulation. Aside from derivatives the book extensively covers shock generated vorticity and it includes a novel analysis of triple points. Both analyses are accompanied with a wide ranging parametric study
