Abstract
Contents:- two-dimensional irrotational (potential) flows: stream function and potential, singularity method, unsteady flow, aerodynamic concepts- vorticity dynamics: vorticity and circulation, vorticity equation, vortex theorems of Helmholtz and Kelvin- compressible flows: isentropic flow along stream tube, normal and oblique shocks, Laval nozzle, Prandtl-Meyer expansion, viscous effects
