Computational Techniques for Fluid Dynamics: Fundamental and General Techniques - Volume One - Second Edition With 138 Figures

Berlin Heidelberg New York London: Springer Verlag, 1991. Second Edition . Trade Paperback. Very Good. 6 1/4" x 9 1/4. 401 Pages with Subject Index. Tight bright book with no noted defects. Faultless interior text. The purpose of this textbook is to provide senior under-graduate and postgraduate engineers, scientists and applied mathematicians with the specific techniques, and the framework to develop skills in using the techniques that have proven effective in the various branches of computational fluid dynamics. Volume 1 systematically develops the fundamental computational techniques that are required to predict flow behaviour of Newtonian fluids. Relevant background material is provided on partial differential equations, convergence, stability and consistency and equation solution methods. A unified treatment of finite dlifference, finite element. finite volume and spectral methods, as alternative means of discretisation, is emphasized . Contents in Ten Chapters: Introduction, Partial Differential Equaitons, Preliminary Computational Techniques, Theoretical Background, Weighted Residual Methods Stead poroblems, One-Dimensional Diffusion Equation, Multidimensional Diffusion Equation, Linear Convection-Dominated Problems, and Nonlinear Convection-Dominated Problems. Plus Apedix, References and Contents of Second Edition Volume Two.
