The prediction and analysis of surface pressure in high-speed flows are important aspects of modern fluid mechanics, aerodynamics, and aerospace engineering. When a fluid moves at high velocity around an aerodynamic body, variations in pressure, density, temperature, and velocity can produce complex flow behavior that directly influences aerodynamic forces and overall system performance. Surface Pressure Prediction in High-Speed Flows provides a focused introduction to the engineering principles and analytical approaches used to understand and predict pressure distributions on surfaces exposed to high-speed fluid flow.
The book examines the fundamental concepts of compressible fluid mechanics and high-speed aerodynamics, establishing the relationship between flow velocity, pressure, density, temperature, and Mach number. Readers are introduced to the characteristics of subsonic, transonic, and supersonic flow regimes and the physical phenomena that can influence surface pressure. These foundations provide the necessary context for understanding how aerodynamic pressure develops around bodies operating under different high-speed flow conditions.
A central focus is placed on surface pressure prediction and the engineering factors that determine pressure distributions. The discussion considers aerodynamic geometry, boundary conditions, flow properties, Mach number, shock waves, expansion effects, flow separation, and surface interactions. Readers gain an understanding of how changes in aerodynamic conditions can alter local pressure and contribute to overall aerodynamic loading.
The book also introduces computational and analytical approaches for evaluating high-speed flow behavior. Concepts associated with computational fluid dynamics, numerical flow analysis, aerodynamic modeling, pressure coefficient, flow-field prediction, and performance evaluation are considered within the broader framework of high-speed aerodynamics. These methods provide useful tools for studying complex flow behavior and developing predictions of surface pressure without relying on a particular commercial software platform or proprietary computational system.

Right of withdrawal
If you are a consumer you can withdraw from the contract in accordance with the following. Consumer means any natural person who is acting for purposes which are outside his trade, business, craft or profession.
Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
