What is the best resource (book) to start learning about CFD?
I see there are a lot of resources available at http://www.cfd-online.com/Books/ . But I've become a bit overwhelmed with the amount of material that's available. I have a pretty limited experience with CFD. I was doing a research project this semester (last semester at Purdue!) and I had to basically teach myself CFX. Yes, I've learned a little bit about how to use the software, but I don't have real knowledge about how it actually works. What I'm looking for is perhaps a "golden standard" text to get me started on how CFD works (and explains different models like....k-omega, SST, etc.). When I was doing my project, I would basically have to take the professor's and others' words for it when they suggested a certain turbulance model. I've read the CFX documentation, but information really isn't presented well for someone with no real knowledge of the inner-workings of CFD.

Mahill,
If you want a good book who explains Turbulent models and the differences, I like "Turbulent Flow, S.B. Pope". http://eccentric.mae.cornell.edu/~po...lentFlows.html A general introduction will be for me "Computational Techniques for Fluid Dynamics, Vol. 1 and Vol 2 by C.A. Fletcher" Thomas_L |

I never did a single course in CFD during my graduation. Whatever I learned is self taught. I do have a normal CFD solver : navier.com And a working navier stokes solver with GPU. ( not available to download though) :-) You can learn yourself too, just need to do little bit of hardwork. |
