Computational Fluid Mechanics and Heat Transfer FROM THE PUBLISHER
This comprehensive text provides basic fundamentals of computational theory and computational methods. The book is divided into two parts. The first part covers material fundamental to the understanding and application of finite-difference methods. The second part illustrates the use of such methods in solving different types of complex problems encountered in fluid mechanics and heat transfer. The book is replete with worked examples and problems provided at the end of each chapter.
FROM THE CRITICS
Booknews
This introductory text provides advanced undergraduates and beginning
graduate students the background necessary for solving complex
problems in fluid mechanics and heat transfer. It emphasizes finite-
difference methods, and is divided into two parts: the fundamentals
of finite-difference methods, and applications involving the
equations of fluid mechanics and heat transfer. Canned programs for
specific problems do not appear in the text so that the students can
construct their own, thereby strengthening their ability to work with
algorithms. Chapters end with problems requiring numerical
implementation of text material.
