Covered from the vantage point of a user of a commercial flow
package, Essentials of Computational Fluid Dynamics provides the
information needed to competently operate a commercial flow solver.
This book provides a physical description of fluid flow, outlines
the strengths and weaknesses of computational fluid dynamics (CFD),
presents the basics of the discretization of the equations, focuses
on the understanding of how the flow physics interact with a
typical finite-volume discretization, and highlights the
approximate nature of CFD. It emphasizes how the physical concepts
(mass conservation or momentum balance) are reflected in the CFD
solutions while minimizing the required mathematical/numerical
background. In addition, it uses cases studies in mechanical/aero
and biomedical engineering, includes MATLAB and spreadsheet
examples, codes and exercise questions. The book also provides
practical demonstrations on core principles and key behaviors and
incorporates a wide range of colorful examples of CFD simulations
in various fields of engineering. In addition, this author:
Introduces basic discretizations, the linear advection equation,
and forward, backward and central differences Proposes a prototype
discretization (first-order upwind) implemented in a
spreadsheet/MATLAB example that highlights the diffusive character
Looks at consistency, truncation error, and order of accuracy
Analyzes the truncation error of the forward, backward, central
differences using simple Taylor analysis Demonstrates how the of
upwinding produces Artificial Viscosity (AV) and its importance for
stability Explains how to select boundary conditions based on
physical considerations Illustrates these concepts in a number of
carefully discussed case studies Essentials of Computational Fluid
Dynamics provides a solid introduction to the basic principles of
practical CFD and serves as a resource for students in mechanical
or aerospace engineering taking a first CFD course as well as
practicing professionals needing a brief, accessible introduction
to CFD.
