DESCRIPTION:
It covers the fundamentals of the subject and is ideal as a text or a comprehensive reference to CFD theory and practice.• New approach takes readers seamlessly from first principles to more advanced and applied topics.• Presents the essential components of a simulation system at a level suitable for those coming into contact with CFD for the first time, and is ideal for those who need a comprehensive refresher on the fundamentals of CFD.• Enhanced pedagogy features chapter objectives, hands-on practice examples and end of chapter exercises.• Extended coverage of finite difference, finite volume and finite element methods.• New chapters include an introduction to grid properties and the use of grids in practice.• Includes material on 2-D inviscid, potential and Euler flows, 2-D viscous flows and Navier-Stokes flows to enable the reader to develop basic CFD simulations.• Includes best practice guidelines for applying existing commercial or shareware CFD tools.. The second edition of this book is a
Improved CFD textbook Derek Dalle The new text is a huge improvement over Hirsch's previous two-volume text on the same subject. It's still arranged a bit like an encyclopedia rather than a textbook, but it could be the best introductory CFD text.. great general discussion but no help for coders This is an excellent book for general discussion of the subject of CFD. The subjects that are covered are covered very, very well. I especially liked the chapters on finite difference equation convergence.However, this is a weak book for those actually seeking to implement code for their own algorithms. CFD readers know that there are many methods out there. This book covers only a small fraction of the possibilities. No code is provided at all (either via the book or any web site), and consequently the details of implementing an algorithm are not covered beyond the general rules that apply . A good book, but avoid the Kindle version. Echo78 This is a review of the kindle version. The equations are blurry tiny pictures that are difficult to read. There are also some symbols that are also represented with pictures rather than characters (most of the greek letters, vectors, subscripts etc) , The overall treatment of the material is great. If you want this book get the paper version.
From the Back Cover The second edition of Numerical Computation of Internal and External Flows is a self-contained introduction to computational fluid dynamics (CFD). It is also ideal for readers who need a comprehensive reference to CFD theory and practice, or as the basis for more advanced study and simulation development.Key Features:• New approach takes readers seamlessly from first principles to more advanced and applied topics• Presents the essential components of a simulation system at a level suitable for those
