Computational Fluid Dynamics Principles and Applications (Book with accompanying CD) Overview
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is an important design tool in engineering and also a substantial research tool in various physical sciences as well as in biology.
The objective of this book is to provide university students with a solid foundation for understanding the numerical methods employed in today's CFD and to familiarise them with modern CFD codes by hands-on experience. It is also intended for engineers and scientists starting to work in the field of CFD or for those who apply CFD codes. Due to the detailed index, the text can serve as a reference handbook too.
Each chapter includes an extensive bibliography, which provides an excellent basis for further studies.
The accompanying CD-ROM contains the sources of 1-D and 2-D Euler and Navier-Stokes flow solvers (structured and unstructured) as well as of grid generators. Provided are also tools for Von Neumann stability analysis of 1-D model equations. Finally, the CD-ROM includes the source code of a dedicated visualisation software with graphical user interface.

Computational Fluid Dynamics Principles and Applications (Book with accompanying CD) Review
This is an excellent book. It contains incredibly much information in a modest volume: a lot of references, has practical observations (for example, Blazek mentioned carbuncle effect near axis of symmetry for blunted bodies stemmed from usage of Roe approximate Riemann solvers), gives a good piece of practicle advice for many areas such as grid generation, boundary conditions, etc. As this book is to be considered as a reference book, some themes left beyond it's scope, for example, Blazek only slightly mentioned ENO schemes without explaining it in details. The included CD contains codes only for explicit 1D and 2D structured and unstructured Euler and Navier-Stokes solvers, but this is a good starting point for those who want to write his/her own CFD code. The book itself contains some information on sparse system solvers and an attentive reader could rewrite codes to use implicit schemes.Get Discounted Price and Learn more Now!!
