About this Item

493 Pages with subject Index. Tight bright book with no noted defects. Faultless interior text. The purpose of this textbook is to provide senior undergraduate and postgraduate engineers. scientists and applied mathematicians with the specific techniques, and the framework to develop skills in using the techniques that have proven effective in the various branches of computational fluid dynamics. In Volume 2 specific techniques are described for inviscid, compressible, boundary layer and separating flow. Grid generation and the use of generalized coordinates for complex geometric domains are dealt with in detail. The more effective modem techniques are stressed, allowing the reader to develop and use the best available methods for solving real flow problems. By providing many computer programs and problems the the reader is encouraged to adopt an involved, hands-on approach in acquiring relevant computational skills.

About this title

Synopsis

This well-known 2-volume textbook provides senior undergraduate and postgraduate engineers, scientists and applied mathematicians with the specific techniques, and the framework to develop skills in using the techniques in the various branches of computational fluid dynamics. In Volume 2 specific techniques are described for inviscid, compressible, boundary layer and separating flow. Grid generation and the use of generalized coordinates for complex geometric domains are dealt with in detail. The most modern methods (including many computer programs) are described in connection with real problems in the field of fluid dynamics. For the the second edition the author also compiled a separately available manual of solutions to the many exercises to be found in the main text.

Review

From the reviews
"In summary, a book of considerable utlity both in the classroom and as a reference volume ... Fletcher's book is sure to become an invaluable tool for student and researcher alike, and a trusted introduction and guide to the rapidly evolving field of CFD."
