Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is concerned with the efficientnumerical solution of the partial differential equations thatdescribe fluid dynamics. CFD techniques are commonly used in themany areas of engineering where fluid behavior is an importantfactor. Traditional fields of application include aerospace andautomotive design, and more recently, bioengineering and consumerand medical electronics. With Applied Computational Fluid DynamicsTechniques, 2nd edition, Rainald Löhner introduces the readerto the techniques required to achieve efficient CFD solvers,forming a bridge between basic theoretical and algorithmic aspectsof the finite element method and its use in an industrial contextwhere methods have to be both as simple but also as robust aspossible.
This heavily revised second edition takes a practice-orientedapproach with a strong emphasis on efficiency, and offers importantnew 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 isa vital resource for engineers, researchers and designers workingon CFD, aero and hydrodynamics simulations and bioengineering. Itsunique practical approach will also appeal to graduate students offluid mechanics and aero and hydrodynamics as well asbiofluidics.
