Synopsis

In developing this book, we decided to emphasize applications and to provide methods for solving problems. As a result, we limited the mathematical devel- opments and we tried as far as possible to get insight into the behavior of numerical methods by considering simple mathematical models. The text contains three sections. The first is intended to give the fundamen- tals of most types of numerical approaches employed to solve fluid-mechanics problems. The topics of finite differences, finite elements, and spectral meth- ods are included, as well as a number of special techniques. The second section is devoted to the solution of incompressible flows by the various numerical approaches. We have included solutions of laminar and turbulent-flow prob- lems using finite difference, finite element, and spectral methods. The third section of the book is concerned with compressible flows. We divided this last section into inviscid and viscous flows and attempted to outline the methods for each area and give examples.

About this title

Synopsis

This textbook is an introduction to numerical methods in fluid dynamics for both students and practitioners. The first part introduces various techniques, including finite differences, finite elements, and spectral methods. The second is devoted to the solution of incompressible flows and the third is concerned with compressible flows (inviscid and viscous). The application of the methods in each area is outlined and examples are given.
