Computational Methods for Fluid Dynamics

16In its 3rd revised and extended edition the book offers an over- view of the techniques used to solve problems in fluid mechanics on computers and describes in detail those most often used in practice. Included are advanced techniques in computationalfluid dynamics, like direct and large-eddy simulation of turbulence, multigrid methods, parallel computing, moving grids, structured, block-structured and unstructured boundary-fitted grids, free surface flows. The 3rd edition contains a new section dealing with grid quality and an extended description of discretization methods. The book shows common roots and basic principles for many apparently different methods. The book also contains a great deal of practical advice for code developers and users, it is designed to be equally useful to beginners and experts.04From the contents:- Inhalt: Basic Concepts of Fluid Flow- Introduction to Numerical Methods- Finite Difference Methods- Finite Volume Methods- Solution of Linear Equation Systems- Methods for Unsteady Problems- Solutions of the Navier-Stokes Equations- Complex Geometries- Turbulent Flows- Compressible Flow- Efficiency and Accuracy Improvement- Special Topics
