Basics of Fluid Mechanics
A new version of the book was released.

On 7th August 2008, a new version 0.1.8 was released. While this book is in the early stage, it contains the best chapter on Fluid Statics. It also have a chapter on introduction to multi-phase flow. Therefore, all are invited to use and check the new version of the book. Release Notes, ChangeLog, Download (2.6M 189pp),
Potto Gas Dynamics Calculator
On 25th January 2008, the latest version 0.5.1 was released. This version, as far as we know, provides by far the best and the most extensive gas dynamics calculations. Now, it also generates the oblique shock figure to any arbitrary specific heat, k. Release Notes, ChangeLog, Software.

Take a Tour
This tour explains in a nutshell what the Potto Project is about.

Screenshots
Screenshots let you see what Potto-GDC looks like while it's running. They can give you a good feel for what Potto-GDC is like without downloading the program. You also can the cover pages of the books (back and front).

Read On Line
The "Fundamentals of compressible Flow" can be read on line here. The other books are in process to make then available on line too.

Gas Dynamics Tables
Here you can see and get tables generated by the software and ideas. The Gas dynamics tables can be downloaded in several formats.
