Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is concerned with the efficient
numerical solution of the partial differential equations that
describe fluid dynamics. CFD techniques are commonly used in the
many areas of engineering where fluid behavior is an important
factor. Traditional fields of application include aerospace and
automotive design, and more recently, bioengineering and consumer
and medical electronics. With Applied Computational Fluid Dynamics
Techniques, 2nd edition, Rainald Löhner introduces the reader
to the techniques required to achieve efficient CFD solvers,
forming a bridge between basic theoretical and algorithmic aspects
of the finite element method and its use in an industrial context
where methods have to be both as simple but also as robust as
possible.
This heavily revised second edition takes a practice-oriented approach with a strong emphasis on efficiency, and offers important new and updated material on;
-
Overlapping and embedded grid methods
-
Treatment of free surfaces
-
Grid generation
-
Optimal use of supercomputing hardware
-
Optimal shape and process design
Applied Computational Fluid Dynamics Techniques, 2nd edition is a vital resource for engineers, researchers and designers working on CFD, aero and hydrodynamics simulations and bioengineering. Its unique practical approach will also appeal to graduate students of fluid mechanics and aero and hydrodynamics as well as biofluidics.
