Compressible flows are encountered in many applications in Aerospace and Mechanical engineering. Some examples are flows in nozzles, compressors, turbines and diffusers. In aerospace engineering, in addition to these examples, compressible flows are seen in external aerodynamics, aircraft and rocket engines. In almost all of these applications, air (or some other gas or mixture of gases) is the working fluid. However, steam can be the working substance in turbomachinery applications. Thus, the range of applications in which compressible flow occurs is quite large and hence a clear understanding of the dynamics of compressible flow is essential.
