By Jiri Blazek, CFD Consulting & Analysis, Germany
Description Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is an important design tool in engineering and also a substantial research tool in various physical
sciences.
The objective of this book is to provide a solid foundation for understanding the numerical methods employed in today's
CFD and to raise awareness of modern CFD codes through hands-on experience. The book will be an essential reference work for engineers
and scientists starting to work in the field of CFD or those who apply CFD codes.
The accompanying CD-ROM contains the sources
of 1-D and 2-D Euler solvers as well as grid generators.
Audience
The book will be an essential reference work for engineers and scientists in the field of computational fluid dynamics, or those who apply CFD codes.
