Description
Wave generation in fluids: Compressibility, analogy between gravitational and elastic waves, effects on fluid patterns, elastic waves, surges, water and blood hammer, isothermal and adiabatic departure from the constant-density flow (0:00 to 9:27); Shock waves: Analogy with two-dimensional patterns produced by concentric waves, analogy with the surge in open channel flow, Schlierern measurements applied to the subsonic and supersonic flows around simple body forms - sphere, plate, cylinder-and lifting vanes (9:28 to 15:36)
