Synopsis

This book describes some newly developed computational techniques and modeling strategies for analyzing and predicting complex transport phenomena. It summarizes advances in the context of a pressure-based algorithm and discusses methods such as discretization schemes for treating convection and pressure, parallel computing, multigrid methods, and composite, multiblock techniques. The final chapter is devoted to practical applications that illustrate the advantages of various numerical and physical tools. The authors provide numerous examples throughout the text.

About this title

Book Description

Complex fluid flows are encountered widely in nature and in engineering practice. These flows often involve both geometric and dynamic complexity and present problems that are difficult to analyze.This book describes some newly developed computational techniques and modeling strategies for analyzing and predicting complex transport phenomena. It summarizes advances in the context of a pressure-based algorithm. Numerous examples are included, as well as practical applications that illustrate the advantages of various numerical and physical tools.

Review

"...a thorough compilation of work in the field of computational techniques and modelling strategies for modelling complex transport phenomena with the 5 authors collaborating well in producing a consistent style throughout...The book can be used by mechanical, aerospace, chemical and material engineers..."
