Computational Fluid Dynamics: An Introduction
Book Description The objective of this book is to provide an elementary tutorial presentation on computational fluid dynamics (CFD), emphasizing the basics and surveying a variety of solution techniques whose applications range from low speed incompressible flow to hypersonic flow. It is aimed at persons who have had little or no experience in this field, both recent graduates as well as professional engineers. The book provides an insight into the philosophy and power of CFD, as well as an understanding of the mathematical nature of the fluid dynamics equations and a familiarity with various solution techniques. While the techniques discussed are applicable to all fields of fluid dynamics, the majority of examples presented carry a strong flavor of aeronautics. Book Info Provides a simple, satisfying, and motivational approach toward presenting the subject to the reader who is learning about CFD for the first time. DLC: Fluid dynamics - Data processing. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition. Reader Reviews This review is from: Computational Fluid Dynamics (Hardcover) I am presently in my 4th year of a PhD in Astrophysics. While my background in the analytic portion of Fluid Dynamics is strong my understanding of how one discretizes and solves these equations numerically is somewhat lacking. I picked this book up as a starting point to more complicated methods and found it to be, hands down, one of the best texts I have ever read. It presents the material in a concise, clear, and physically motivated fashion which makes learning the topic incredibly straightforward. While this book is only a 'kicking off' point for more advanced techniques I think it is a must read for beginners and intermediate users. For the first timer to CFD the book will get you started down the right path armed with all the preliminary tools. For the more advanced user it will put aspects of the topic into an easier to understand light and perhaps shed more light on fundamentals that were presented poorly elsewhere. I'd give it ten stars, it's allowed me to crack into the code I'm using and really understand why it works as well as having set me down the path to a more advanced level of understanding of CFD.
