This book is a self-contained text for those students and readers interested in learning hypersonic flow and high-temperature gas dynamics. It assumes no prior familiarity with either subject on the part of the reader. if you have worked and/or are working in these areas, and you want a cohesive presentation of the fundamentals, a development of important theory and techniques, a discussion of the salient results with emphasis on the physical aspects, and a presentation of modern thinking in these areas, then this book is also for you. In other words, this book is designed for two roles: (1) as an effective classroom text which can be used with ease by the instructor, and which can be understood with ease by the student; and (2) as a viable, professional working tool on the desk of all engineers, scientists and managers who have any contact in their jobs with hypersonic and/or high-temperature flow.
