As indicated in Vol. 1, the purpose of this two-volume textbook is
to pro vide students of engineering, science and applied
mathematics with the spe cific techniques, and the framework to
develop skill in using them, that have proven effective in the
various branches of computational fluid dy namics Volume 1
describes both fundamental and general techniques that are relevant
to all branches of fluid flow. This volume contains specific tech
niques applicable to the different categories of engineering flow
behaviour, many of which are also appropriate to convective heat
transfer. The contents of Vol. 2 are suitable for specialised
graduate courses in the engineering computational fluid dynamics
(CFD) area and are also aimed at the established research worker or
practitioner who has already gained some fundamental CFD
background. It is assumed that the reader is famil iar with the
contents of Vol. 1. The contents of Vol. 2 are arranged in the
following way: Chapter 11 de velops and discusses the equations
governing fluid flow and introduces the simpler flow categories for
which specific computational techniques are considered in Chaps.
14-18. Most practical problems involve computational domain
boundaries that do not conveniently coincide with coordinate lines.
Consequently, in Chap. 12 the governing equations are expressed in
generalised curvilinear coordinates for use in arbitrary
computational domains. The corresponding problem of generating an
interior grid is considered in Chap. 13."
This complementary text provides detailed solutions for the
problems that appear in Chapters 2 to 18 of Computational
Techniques for Fluid Dynamics (CTFD), Second Edition. Consequently
there is no Chapter 1 in this solutions manual. The solutions are
indicated in enough detail for the serious reader to have little
difficulty in completing any intermediate steps. Many of the
problems require the reader to write a computer program to obtain
the solution. Tabulated data, from computer output, are included
where appropriate and coding enhancements to the programs provided
in CTFD are indicated in the solutions. In some instances
completely new programs have been written and the listing forms
part of the solution. All of the program modifications, new
programs and input/output files are available on an IBM compatible
floppy direct from C.A.J. Fletcher. Many of the problems are
substantial enough to be considered mini-projects and the
discussion is aimed as much at encouraging the reader to explore ex
tensions and what-if scenarios leading to further dcvelopment as at
providing neatly packaged solutions. Indeed, in order to givc the
reader a better intro duction to CFD reality, not all the problems
do have a "happy ending." Some suggested extensions fail; but the
reasons for the failure are illuminating."
This well-known 2-volume textbook provides senior undergraduate and postgraduate engineers, scientists and applied mathematicians with the specific techniques, and the framework to develop skills in using the techniques in the various branches of computational fluid dynamics. In Volume 2 specific techniques are described for inviscid, compressible, boundary layer and separating flow. Grid generation and the use of generalized coordinates for complex geometric domains are dealt with in detail. The most modern methods (including many computer programs) are described in connection with real problems in the field of fluid dynamics. For the the second edition the author also compiled a separately available manual of solutions to the many exercises to be found in the main text.
The purpose and organisation ofthis book are described in the
preface to the first edition (1988). In preparing this edition
minor changes have been made, par ticularly to Chap. 1to keep it
reasonably current. However, the rest of the book has required only
minor modification to clarify the presentation and to modify or
replace individual problems to make them more effective. The
answers to the problems are available in Solutions Manual for
Computational Techniques for Fluid DynamicsbyC. A. 1. Fletcherand
K. Srinivas, published by Springer-Verlag, Heidelberg, 1991. The
computer programs have also been reviewed and tidied up. These are
available on an IBM-compatible floppy disc direct from the author.
I would like to take this opportunityto thank the many readers for
their usually generous comments about the first edition and
particularly those readers who went to the trouble of drawing
specific errors to my attention. In this revised edi tion
considerable effort has been made to remove a number of minor
errors that had found their way into the original. I express the
hope that no errors remain but welcome communication that will help
me improve future editions. In preparing this revised edition I
have received considerable help from Dr. K. Srinivas, Nam-Hyo Cho,
Zili Zhu and SusanGonzales at the UniversityofSydney and from
Professor W. BeiglbOck and his colleagues at Springer-Verlag. I am
very grateful to all of them."
