Publisher Comments

The two volumes in this series are devoted to the numerical modeling of fluid flows. The first volume covers the fundamentals of numerical discretization techniques and describes all the steps in the definition and development of a numerical simulation. The second volume complements the first by dealing with the application of computational methods to the problems of fluid dynamics. Together, the two volumes provide an excellent reference source for practitioners and researchers working in computational fluid dynamics. The series will also be useful in courses in computational fluid dynamics, providing comprehensive coverage and including discussion of the equations used and the circumstances in which they are suitable; the numerical techniques used and their solutions and methods for producing computer programs. Features end-of-chapter problems and comprehensive reference lists.

Useful and Detailed CFD Reference Book

Bert Laney (laney@colorado.edu)   Tue, Apr 18, 2000

These two volumes constitute some of the oldest CFD books still in print, but they are also the most comprehensive and suprisingly up-to-date. These took almost a decade to write, and the effort shows. These are the only CFD books I personally refer to on a regular basis, besides my own. A little confusing on advanced topics, but no more so than most. (Review submitted by request.)
