Computational Fluid Dynamics: An Introduction to Modeling and Applications

A new approach to CFD that leverages modeling software and is light on math

This concise, highly illustrated resource gets you started using a new, streamlined method for approaching Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) that utilizes commercial software and requires minimal mathematical computations. Developed from curricula taught by the authors, Computational Fluid Dynamics: An Introduction to Modeling and Applications shows how to use high-powered numerical analyses and data structures to analyze and solve problems that involve fluid flows and heat transfer. You will learn how to use the latest computer programs, such as Fluent, to perform the complex calculations required.

Coverage includes:

• Conservation laws in thermal-fluid sciences
