Synopsis

This new book builds on the original classic textbook entitled: An Introduction to Computational Fluid Mechanics by C. Y. Chow which was originally published in 1979. In the decades that have passed since this book was published the field of computational fluid dynamics has seen a number of changes in both the sophistication of the algorithms used but also advances in the computer hardware and software available. This new book incorporates the latest algorithms in the solution techniques and supports this by using numerous examples of applications to a broad range of industries from mechanical and aerospace disciplines to civil and the biosciences. The computer programs are developed and available in MATLAB. In addition the core text provides up-to-date solution methods for the Navier-Stokes equations, including fractional step time-advancement, and pseudo-spectral methods.

About this title

From the Back Cover

A unique introduction to the field of computational fluid mechanics that utilizes the concept of hands-on teaching by real-world examples, An Introduction to Computational Fluid Mechanics by Example is based on the original text An Introduction to Fluid Mechanics by Chuen-Yen Chow, published thirty years ago. This new text incorporates some of the modern algorithmic developments into the solution techniques that are implemented in the vast number of examples provided, with an expanded scope that includes up-to-date methods for the solution of the Navier-Stokes equations, and an introduction to pseudo-spectral techniques. Written in a pedagogical style primarily targeting advanced seniors and first-year graduate students, this book includes advanced topics that can have appeal for researchers as well.

A comprehensive and detailed guide, An Introduction to Computational Fluid Mechanics by Example incorporates practical algorithms and numerical methods, along with the use of computer programs, to deliver a comprehensive view of the computational techniques crucial for predicting flow behavior. The book:

• Provides up-to-date solution methods for the Navier-Stokes equations, including fractional step time-advancement, and pseudo-spectral methods

• Contains numerous examples to reinforce the fundamentals of computational fluid mechanics

• Includes revised computer codes supplied in MATLAB available on a companion website at www.wiley.com/go/biringen

• Offers a broad new perspective―from mechanical and aerospace to civil, mechanical, and bioengineering disciplines
