A sample from this course

One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.

Compressible flow fundamentals

Compressible flow fundamentals deals with fluid motion in which density changes are important and cannot be ignored. For exam purposes, you must master how pressure, temperature, density and velocity are linked, why Mach number is the key indicator of compressibility effects, and how stagnation properties, speed of sound and isentropic relations are used to analyse high-speed flow.
