Introduction to Computational Fluid Dynamics [electronic resource] : Development, Application and Analysis / by Atul Sharma.

Introduction -- Introduction to CFD: Development, Application, and Analysis -- Essentials of Fluid-Dynamics and Heat-Transfer for CFD -- Essentials of Numerical-Methods for CFD. Computational Heat Conduction -- Computational Heat Advection -- Computational Heat Convection -- Computational Fluid Dynamics: Physical Law based Finite Volume Method -- Computational Fluid Dynamics on a Staggered Grid -- Computational Fluid Dynamics on a Co-located Grid -- Computational Heat Conduction on a Curvilinear Grid -- Computational Fluid Dynamics on a Curvilinear Grid.

This more-of-physics, less-of-math, insightful and comprehensive book simplifies computational fluid dynamics for readers with little knowledge or experience in heat transfer, fluid dynamics or numerical methods. The novelty of this book lies in the simplification of the level of mathematics in CFD by presenting physical law (instead of the traditional differential equations) and discrete (independent of continuous) math-based algebraic formulations. Another distinguishing feature of this book is that it effectively links theory with computer program (code). This is done with pictorial as well as detailed explanations of implementation of the numerical methodology. It also includes pedagogical aspects such as end-of-chapter problems and carefully designed examples to augment learning in CFD code-development, application and analysis. This book is a valuable resource for students in the fields of mechanical, chemical or aeronautical engineering.
