Riassunto

The purpose of this two-volume textbook is to provide students of engineer­ ing, science and applied mathematics with the specific techniques, and the framework to develop skill in using them, that have proven effective in the various branches of computational fluid dynamics (CFD). Volume 1 de­ scribes both fundamental and general techniques that are relevant to all branches of fluid flow. Volume 2 provides specific techniques, applicable to the different categories of engineering flow behaviour, many of which are also appropriate to convective heat transfer. An underlying theme of the text ist that the competing formulations which are suitable for computational fluid dynamics, e.g. the finite differ­ ence, finite element, finite volume and spectral methods, are closely related and can be interpreted as part of a unified structure. Classroom experience indicates that this approach assists, considerably, the student in acquiring a deeper understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of the alternative computational methods. Through the provision of 24 computer programs and associated exam­ ples and problems, the present text is also suitable for established research workers and practitioners who wish to acquire computational skills without the benefit of formal instruction. The text includes the most up-to-date techniques and is supported by more than 300 figures and 500 references.

Contents: Fluid Dynamics: The Governing Equations.- Generalised Curvilinear Coordinates.- Grid Generation.- Inviscid Flow.- Boundary Layer Flow.- Flows Governed by Reduced Navier-Stokes Equations.- Incompressible Viscous Flow.- Compressible Viscous Flow.- Appendices.- References.- Subject Index. 2-volume set1988. 321 figs. XXV, 893 pp. Hard cover DM 198,-. ISBN 3-540-19466-5 This is a textbook for senior undergraduate and graduate engineers, scientists and applied mathematicians. It provides them with the specific techniques that have proven effective in the various branches of computational fluid dynamics. It also provides them with the framework to develop skills in using those techniques. Volume 1 systematically develops the fundamental computational techniques that are required to predict flow behavior of Newtonian fluids. Relevant background material is provided on partial differential equations, convergence, stability and consistency and equation solution methods. A unified treatment of finite difference, finite element, finite volume and spectral methods, as alternative means of discretization, is emphasized.
