Descrizione articolo

Riassunto

This well-written book explains the theory of spectral methods and their application to the computation of viscous incompressible fluid flow, in clear and elementary terms. With many examples throughout, the work will be useful to those teaching at the graduate level, as well as to researchers working in the area.

Dalla quarta di copertina

This book provides a comprehensive discussion of Fourier and Chebyshev spectral methods for the computation of incompressible viscous flows, based on the Navier-Stokes equations. The book is in three parts. The first part presents the fundamentals of the Fourier and Chebyshev methods for the solution of the Navier-Stokes equations considered in vorticity-streamfunction and velocity-pressure formulations. The third part of the book is concerned with the solution of stiff and singular problems, and with the domain decomposition method.
Every topic is accompanied by numerical examples, which further illustrate and assess the methods. Graduate students and researchers in applied mathematics and engineering working in fluid dxnamics, scientific computing, and numerical analysis will find this book of interest.
