About this Item

Paperback. Fluid mechanics is a branch of classical physics that has a rich tradition in applied mathematics and numerical methods. It is at work virtually everywhere, from nature to technology. This broad and fundamental coverage of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) begins with a presentation of basic numerical methods and flows into a rigorous introduction to the subject. A heavy emphasis is placed on the exploration of fluid mechanical physics through CFD, making this book an ideal text for any new course that simultaneously covers intermediate fluid mechanics and computation. Ample examples, problems and computer exercises are provided to allow students to test their understanding of a variety of numerical methods for solving flow physics problems, including the point-vortex method, numerical methods for hydrodynamic stability analysis, spectral methods and traditional CFD topics. A broad and fundamental coverage of computational fluid dynamics (CFD), explaining basic numerical methods and offering a rigorous introduction to CFD. This book emphasises the exploration of fluid science through computation and is an ideal text for any course in this area. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
