NUMERICAL COMPUTATION OF INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL FLOWS

The first of two books that together describe comprehensively the theory and practice of computational fluid dynamics of both internal and external flows. In this book, the author explains the use of basic CFD methods to solve problems in fluid dynamics, comparing these methods so the reader can see which would be the most appropriate to use for a particular problem. Divided into four parts, the book first introduces the mathematical basis of the subject. In the second part, the various numerical methods are described, while in the third and fourth parts the workings of these methods are investigated in detail. Written to be used as either a course text or reference for practitioners and researchers, this book is fully up to date, with new material on CFD algorithms for unstructured grids and high-resolution algorithms for structured and unstructured grids. This new edition also includes end of chapter exercises for student readers and is accompanied by a separate solutions manual, making it ideal for a wide range of advanced undergraduate and graduate courses in engineering and mathematics.
