Contents:
Introduction -- Conservation laws of fluid motion and boundary conditions -- Turbulence and its modelling -- The finite volume method for diffusion problems -- The finite volume method for convection-diffusion problems -- Solution algorithms for pressure-velocity coupling in steady flows -- Solution of discretised equations -- The finite volume method for unsteady flows -- Implementation of boundary conditions -- Errors and uncertainty in CFD modelling -- Methods for dealing with complex geometries -- CFD modelling of combustion -- Numerical calculation of radiative heat transfer.

Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

This established, leading textbook, is suitable for courses in CFD. The new edition covers new techniques and methods, as well as considerable expansion of the advanced topics and applications (from one to four chapters).

This book presents the fundamentals of computational fluid mechanics for the novice user. It provides a thorough yet user-friendly introduction to the governing equations and boundary conditions of viscous fluid flows, turbulence and its modelling, and the finite volume method of solving flow problems on computers.

Includes bibliographical references (p. [472]-494) and index.
