Synopsis

Heat transfer and fluid flow issues are of great significance and this state-of-the-art edited book with reference to new and innovative numerical methods will make a contribution for researchers in academia and research organizations, as well as industrial scientists and college students.The book provides comprehensive chapters on research and developments in emerging topics in computational methods, e.g., the finite volume method, finite element method as well as turbulent flow computational methods. Fundamentals of the numerical methods, comparison of various higher-order schemes for convection-diffusion terms, turbulence modeling, the pressure-velocity coupling, mesh generation and the handling of arbitrary geometries are presented. Results from engineering applications are provided. Chapters have been co-authored by eminent researchers.
