About this title

Synopsis

This book provides a thorough understanding of fluid dynamics and heat and mass transfer. The Second Edition contains new chapters on mesh generation and computational modeling of turbulent flow. Combining theory and practice in classic problems and computer code, the text includes numerous worked-out examples. Students will be able to develop computational analysis models for complex problems more efficiently using commercial codes such as ANSYS, STAR CCM+, and COMSOL.

With detailed explanations on how to implement computational methodology into computer code, students will be able to solve complex problems on their own and develop their own customized simulation models, including problems in heat transfer, mass transfer, and fluid flows. These problems are solved and illustrated in step-by-step derivations and figures.

FEATURES

• Provides unified coverage of computational heat transfer and fluid dynamics
• Covers basic concepts and then applies computational methods for problem analysis and solution
• Covers most common higher-order time-approximation schemes
• Covers most common and advanced linear solvers
• Contains new chapters on mesh generation and computer modeling of turbulent flow

Computational Fluid Dynamics and Heat Transfer, Second Edition, is valuable to engineering instructors and students taking courses in computational heat transfer and computational fluid dynamics.
