You don’t need compressible flow to generate lift. Any basic inviscid (Euler) 2D incompressible solver can be used to calculate lift. For drag you need to resolve the boundary layer and solve Navier Stokes.
The first edition was basically these notes, with some additions and corrections.
The second edition (published in 2015) is more different. It was updated and reorganized to help clarify some common causes of confusion. I must admit that I liked the first edition better, but that may just be because I read it first.
You might also like "Fluid Engine Development" if this stuff is your cup of tea. I believe there is complete code with it.

"He did not wait for students to come to him; he made inquiry for promising youthful collectors, and when he heard of one, he wrote, inviting and urging him to come. Thus there is hardly one now of the American naturalists of my generation whom Agassiz did not train." - William James, Louis Agassiz, 1896.
I want cross-platform deterministic fluid simulations (at least in platforms with IEEE 2008 float semantics). What I mean is, I want to run the same software on different architectures and platforms and get the same exact answer. Is that feasible?
Also, are some techniques more amenable to cross-platform determinism while others are more challenging?
Moreover: can I add threads or use SIMD or run on GPUs and still be deterministic? (Rapier can't do that: it runs on CPU, and on the cross-platform deterministic mode it disables threads and SIMD)
I'm not sure if those are considered worthwhile research lines, but this is what I care most.
Any guides for grid-less fluid simulation? I'd want to set up an unconstrained simulation, one that's using CPU only for the parts where there's actually particles to simulate. Doesn't have to be accurate at all, as long as it produces vortices.

The first edition was really good on the nitty gritty implementation details.

..and if it's really REALLY your cup of tea, join my research lab and do a PhD. :-)

For context, Chris (batty above) was one of Robert’s best grad students.
If fluid simulation is your thing, Chris is one of the best people in the world to do a PhD with.
He’s also a very nice person. :)

Note that Rapier can do this for mechanical simulations aimed at gamedev https://rapier.rs/docs/user_guides/rust/determinism/
