CFD codes and books: need your opinion

Giovanni Mattarolo

Hi all,

I need some usefull info from a CFD guru! I am starting now dealing with the wonderful world of CFD. Up to now I have been using Femlab (version Comsol 3.2) to do some simple simulations (conduction and convection and chemical reaction in laminar flow). Now I have to do the big step to turbolent models and inviscid flow. Is Femlab a good program for CFD simulations?? I am trying to implement Euler equation for an inviscid flow subjected to pressure forces in a 2D domain, but I cannot get in any way convergence. Another question...any hint for a good book for a beginner in CFD (if possible with finite element method approach)?

Thanks in advance for any suggest! Regards
