Computational Fluid Dynamics

The second edition of Computational Fluid Dynamics represents a significant improvement from the first edition. However the original idea of including all computational fluid dynamics methods (FDM FEM FVM); all mesh generation schemes; and physical applications to turbulence combustion acoustics radiative heat transfer multiphase flow electromagnetic flow and general relativity is still maintained. The second edition includes a new section on preconditioning for EBE-GMRES and a complete revision of the section on flowfield-dependent variation methods which demonstrates more detailed computational processes and includes additional example problems. For those instructors desiring a textbook that contains homework assignments a variety of problems for FDM FEM and FVM are included in an appendix. To facilitate students and practitioners intending to develop a large-scale computer code an example of FORTRAN code capable of solving compressible incompressible viscous inviscid 1D 2D and 3D for all speed regimes using the flowfield-dependent variation method is made available.
