Turbulent Shear Layers in Supersonic Flow

This book provides the first comprehensive introduction to the field of compressible turbulent flows, for students, engineers and scientists. The text collects the most recent results of research on the behavior of turbulent shear layers at supersonic speed and recounts the current understanding of these flows. No other book provides an integrated treatment of turbulent flows with compressibility essential to the design and operation of high-speed vehicles.
