Fundamentals of Computational Fluid Dynamics

Booknews

This work is built on the author's 1972 text, . That work is expanded yet essentially reproduced here as Part I, with chapters on incompressible and compressible flow equations, computational methods for incompressible and compressible flow, other mesh and coordinate systems, and recommendations on programming, testing, and information processing. Part II contains newer material on areas including operation count for direct Gaussian elimination, multigrid solvers, a sixth-order accurate direct solver for Poisson and Helmholtz equations in polar coordinates, nonlinear flux limiters applied to groundwater contaminant transport, and verification of codes and calculations.
