High temperatures elicit a variety of reactions in gases, including increased molecular vibrations, dissociation, chemical reactions, ionization, and radiation of light. In addition to affecting the motion of the gas, these processes can lead to changes of composition and electrical properties, as well as optical phenomena.These and other processes of extreme conditions such as occur in explosions, in supersonic flight, in very strong electrical discharges, and in other cases are the focus of this outstanding text by two leading physicists of the former Soviet Union. The authors deal thoroughly with all the essential physical influences on the dynamics and thermodynamics of continuous media, weaving together material from such disciplines as gas dynamics, shockwave theory, thermodynamics and statistical physics, molecular physics, spectroscopy, radiation theory, astrophysics, solidstate physics, and other fields.This volume, uniquely comprehensive in the field of hightemperature gas physics and gas dynamics, was edited and annotated by Wallace D. Hayes and Ronald F. Probstein, leading authorities on the flow of gases at very high speeds. It is exceptionally well suited to the needs of graduate students in physics, as well as professors, engineers, and researchers.

I was really looking forward to this book, but it arrived with a bent cover and took over a week longer than expected. I haven’t even had the chance to read it yet because of the condition. Very disappointed with this purchase.

A Great Addition to My Physics Library
I've been diving into fluid dynamics for my research, and this book on shock waves and hydrodynamic phenomena is a must-have. The explanations are detailed without being overly complex, which really helps in understanding high-temperature scenarios. Definitely worth the investment for serious students!

Well Written, But A Bit Advanced
This book covers a lot of ground in shock waves and hydrodynamics. The writing is clear, but it’s definitely for those with a strong physics background. I struggled with a few concepts, so it might be challenging for beginners. Still, I'm learning a lot!

Interesting Concepts but Dense Material
The content of the book is fascinating, especially if you're into advanced physics. However, I found some sections a bit hard to digest. Maybe it's just my current level of expertise, but I had to reread a few chapters. Still, it’s a good resource to have on hand!

Not What I Expected
Honestly, I thought this would be more of a practical guide but it's pretty theoretical. It has great information, but I was hoping for some more real-world applications. Still a solid reference for those looking to dive deep into the physics behind shock waves.
