About this title

Synopsis

This three-volume text is designed for use in introductory, intermediate, and advanced courses in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and computational fluid turbulence (CFT). The fundamentals of computational schemes are established in the first volume, presented in nine chapters. The first seven chapters include basic concepts and introductory topics, whereas Chapters 8 and 9 cover advanced topics. In the second volume, the fundamental concepts are extended for the solution of the Euler, Parabolized Navier-Stokes, and Navier-Stokes equations. Finally, unstructured grid generation schemes, finite volume techniques, and finite element method are explored in the second volume. In the third volume, turbulent flows and several computational procedures for the solution of turbulent flows are addressed. The first two volumes are designed such that they can be easily adapted to two sequential courses in CFD. Students with an interest in fluid mechanics and heat transfer should have sufficient background to undertake these courses. In addition, fundamental knowledge of programming and graphics is essential for the applications of methods presented throughout the text. Typically, the first course is offered at the undergraduate level, whereas the second course can be offered at the graduate level. The third volume of the text is designed for a course with the major emphasis on turbulent flows.
