Fundamentals of Computational Fluid Dynamics

Download or read book Fundamentals of Computational Fluid Dynamics written by Clovis R. Maliska and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-01-19 with total page 437 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents the developments of the finite volume method applied to fluid flows, starting from the foundations of the method and reaching the latest approaches using unstructured grids. It helps students learn progressively, creating a strong background on CFD. The text is divided into two parts. The first one is about the basic concepts of the finite volume method, while the second one presents the formulation of the finite volume method for any kind of domain discretization. In the first part of the text, for the sake of simplicity, the developments are done using the Cartesian coordinate system, without prejudice to the complete understanding. The second part extends this knowledge to curvilinear and unstructured grids. As such, the book contains material for introductory courses on CFD for under and graduate students, as well as for more advanced students and researchers.
