Mathematical Principles of Classical Fluid Mechanics
TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider the problem of describing the physical behavior of a fluid in terms of a system of differential equations, and their derivation from fundamental axioms, and the various forms in which they take when more or less special assumptions concerning the fluid or the fluid motion are made.

Gas flow in micro-channels
TL;DR: In this article, an experimental and theoretical investigation of low Reynolds number, high subsonic Mach number, compressible gas flow in channels was presented, and the measured friction factor was in good agreement with theoretical predictions assuming isothermal, locally fully developed, first-order slip flow.

Thermodynamic Cycle Analysis of Pulse Detonation Engines
William H. Heiser,David T. Pratt +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a closed thermodynamic cycle analysis of the Pulse Deletion Engine (PDE) was presented, where the most important result was the thermal efficiency of the PDE cycle, or the fraction of the heating value of the fuel that is converted to work that can be used to produce thrust.

Comparison of the Experimental Pressure Distribution on an NACA 0012 Profile at High Speeds With That Calculated by the Relaxation Method
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented pressure distribution measurements made on a 5-inch-chord NACA 0012 airfoil at zero angle of attack in the Langley rectangular high-speed tunnel, a 4- by 18-inch closedthroat tunnel, and compared with results calculated by Emmons for an equivalent NACA-channel configuration by using the relaxation method.
Charts for the analysis of one-dimensional steady compressible flow
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present charts in terms of dimensionless parameters to facilitate the computation involved in the solution of equations of one-dimensional steady flow of a compressible fluid, which can be used in analyses involving constant or variable specific heats in the subsonic and supersonic ranges.
