Computational Fluid Dynamics: A Practical Approach, Fourth Edition is an introduction to computational fluid dynamics (CFD) fundamentals and commercial CFD software to solve engineering problems.
The book is designed for a wide variety of engineering students new to CFD, but is also ideal for practicing engineers learning CFD for the first time. Combining an appropriate level of mathematical background, worked examples, computer screen shots, and step-by-step processes, this book walks the reader through modeling and computing, as well as interpreting CFD results. This new edition has been updated throughout, with new content and improved figures, examples and problems.
Key Features
- Updated throughout, with new case studies, examples, references, and corrections according to readers’ and reviewers’ feedback
- Delivers the latest developments in CFD including the high-order and reduced-order modeling approach, machine learning–accelerated CFD, full coverage of high-speed fluid dynamics, and the meshless approaches to provide a broader overview of the application areas where CFD can be used
- Reorganized and rewritten to better meet the needs of CFD instructors and students
- Online resources include all lecturing and guest lecturing PPTs, computer lab practicing with step-by-step and screenshot guidelines, assignment and course project details, answers for review questions in each chapter, a new bonus chapter featuring detailed case studies, and result discussion
