Numerical Simulation in Fluid Dynamics: A Practical Introduction (Monographs on Mathematical Modeling and Computation)
By Michael Griebel, Thomas Dornsheifer, Tilman Neunhoeffer


 


Product Description:

In this translation of the German edition, the authors provide insight into the numerical simulation of fluid flow. Using a simple numerical method as an expository example, the individual steps of scientific computing are presented: the derivation of the mathematical model; the discretization of the model equations; the development of algorithms; parallelization; and visualization of the computed data. In addition to the treatment of the basic equations for modeling laminar, transient flow of viscous, incompressible fluids - the Navier-Stokes equations - the authors look at the simulation of free surface flows; energy and chemical transport; and turbulence. Readers are enabled to write their own flow simulation program from scratch. The variety of applications is shown in several simulation results, including 92 black-and-white and 18 color illustrations. After reading this book, readers should be able to understand more enhanced algorithms of computational fluid dynamics and apply their new knowledge to other scientific fields.



Summary: Good for practical introduction on how to develop your code
Rating: 4

I found this a very good book in terms of developing your own code.
It is not extremely detailed in terms of all the methods exsisting in computational fluid dynamics, but it gives you those information that for a beginner might be hard to find. Good practical exemples of STAGGERED Grid discretization and a detail explanation on the development of a N-S solver also for FREE SURFACE problems.
Practical things as writing a makefile or how to set your code environment are explained aside of the mathematical analysis of the numerical methods involved.
I highly reccommend this book to those who studies the subject but never put into practice that knowledge.
The practical computations are specifically described for C-programming.



Summary: Very good Introductory book
Rating: 5

This is a very good introductory book to Computational Fluid Dynamics. It teaches you the way to implement your first code in CFD. Using the MAC (March and Cell) method. It has codes in C, but can be adapted to Fortran very easily.



Summary: A Good Book With Basic Information
Rating: 4

This book is very good for those who have background in Mathematics and are beginning to work with Numerical Simulations in Fluid Dynamics. It gives the mathematical introduction to beginners and contains program excerpts that may help in programming.
