Cover of Computational Fluid Mechanics and Heat Transfer, Second Edition
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.

Cover of Computational Fluid Mechanics and Heat Transfer

Computational Fluid Mechanics and Heat Transfer, Fourth Edition is a fully updated version of the classic text on finite-difference and finite-volume computational methods. Divided into two parts, the text covers essential concepts in the first part, and then moves on to fluids equations in the second. Designed as a valuable resource for practitioners and students, new examples and homework problems have been added to further enhance the student's understanding of the fundamentals and applications.

  • Provides a thoroughly updated presentation of CFD and computational heat transfer

  • Covers more material than other texts, organized for classroom instruction and self-study

  • Presents a wide range of computation strategies for fluid flow and heat transfer

  • Includes new sections on finite element methods, computational heat transfer, and multiphase flows

  • Features a full Solutions Manual and Figure Slides for classroom projection

Written as an introductory text for advanced undergraduates and first-year graduate students, the new edition provides the background necessary for solving complex problems in fluid mechanics and heat transfer.
