Synopsis

Frontiers of Computational Fluid Dynamics 1994 Edited by D. A. Caughey Cornell University, Ithaca, New York, USA M. M. Hafez University of California, Davis, USA This book presents the current state of the art of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). It is dedicated to Antony Jameson, in appreciation of his contributions to this field. Recent achievements in the various disciplines which contribute to CFD are discussed, including grid generation and adaptation, finite-volume and finite-element methods, multi-dimensional upwind schemes and multigrid convergence acceleration techniques. Simulations of inviscid and viscous flows are covered for both compressible and incompressible flows, with emphasis on flow control or optimal shape design in fluid mechanics. The book consists of 29 contributed chapters, which are grouped in six sections, covering:

• Design and Optimization of Aerodynamic Configurations
• Unstructured Grid Techniques
• Solution of the Euler Equations
• Solution of the Navier—Stokes Equations
• Applications in Aerodynamics
• Applications in Hydrodynamics

Throughout the book, various approaches are critically examined, and new directions toward more efficient and robust tools of analysis and design, to meet the high expectations facing CFD, are emphasized.

From the Back Cover

As the UK’s only charity concerned with both mental illness and learning disabilities, the Mental Health Foundation plays a vital role in pioneering new approaches to prevention, treatment and care. The Foundation’s work includes allocating grants for research and community projects, contributing to public debate, educating and influencing policy-makers and health care professionals and striving to reduce the stigma attached to mental illness and learning disabilities. In this book, the Foundation has gathered together the work of specialists in the relevant disciplines to present and debate the state of knowledge and research in their field. Contributors focus on questions of methodology and evaluation, and explain how particular research designs might answer specific psychotherapy service questions. They set out guidelines for practice by evaluating examples of good research studies. They also consider how inevitable problems in implementation can be anticipated and overcome. The book’s purpose is to present a guide to the construction and successful execution of well founded research projects, to be used by the research community, purchasers and providers of psychotherapy services, and funding bodies in both public and private sectors.
