The purpose of this book is to present the basic elements of numerical methods for compressible flows. The focus is on the unsteady one-dimensional Euler equations which form the basis for numerical algorithms in compressible fluid mechanics. The book is restricted to the basic concepts of finite volume methods, and even in this regards is not intended to be exhaustive in its treatment. Several noteworthy texts on numerical methods for compressible flows are cited herein.
I would like to express my appreciation to Florence Padgett and Peter Gordon (Cambridge University Press) and Robert Stengel (Princeton University) for their patience. Any omissions or errors are mine alone.
