9781332170579: The Numerical Solution of the Navier-Stokes Equations for an Incompressible Fluid

Synopsis

This book presents an innovative finite difference method for solving the Navier-Stokes equations, which govern the motion of incompressible fluids. The method is unique in its use of primitive variables, eliminating the need for higher-order derived equations, making it applicable to problems in two or three spatial dimensions. The author provides a detailed explanation of the method, including the derivation of the governing equations and the numerical scheme used to solve them. Several test problems are presented, showcasing the method's accuracy and efficiency in capturing complex fluid dynamics. The book is particularly valuable for researchers and practitioners working in computational fluid dynamics and scientific computing. It offers a practical and versatile tool for solving a wide range of problems involving incompressible fluid flow, from fundamental research to engineering applications.
