Computational Fluid Dynamics: An Introduction for Engineers

Product Description

This book provides an introduction to the fundamentals of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) for the engineer and physical scientist. Although it is based primarily on experience in such traditional areas as hydrology, hydraulic and coastal engineering and oceanography it points the way to newer areas of application, including medical fluid dynamics, bioengineering and soil physics and chemistry, with a view to computer-orientated applications. Emphasis is on the numerical treatment of incompressible unsteady fluid flow with primary applications to water problems, using the finite difference method. The first part discusses the principle definitions, basic ideas and most common methods used…
