Abstract | The purpose of this textbook is to provide senior undergraduate and postgraduate engineers, scientists and applied mathematicians with the specific techniques, and the framework to develop skills in using the techniques, that have proven effective in the various branches of computational fluid dynamics. Volume 1 systematically develops the fundamental computational techniques that are required to predict flow behaviour of Newtonian fluids. Relevant background material is provided on partial differential equations, convergence, stability and consistency and equation solution methods. A unified treatment of finite difference, finite elements, finite volume and spectral methods, as alternative means of discretisation, is emphasized. For the second edition the author has also compiled a separately available manual of solutions to the many exercises to be found in the main text. In Volume 2 specific techniques are described for inviscid, compressible, boundary layer and separating flow. Grid generation and the use of generalized coordinates for complex geometric domains are dealt with in detail. The more effective modern techniques are stressed, allowing the reader to develop and use the best available methods for solving real flow problems. By providing many computer programs and problems the reader is encouraged to adopt an involved, hands-on approach in acquiring relevant computational skills. For the second edition the author has also compiled a separately available manual of solution to the many exercises to be found in the main text. |
