In the second edition of this well known Textbook, a full chapter on the finite volume method has been added a technique that combines the benefits of finite differences and finite elements. Specifically, it is applicable to three dimensional unsteady flows in complex geometrie. It uses structured collocated grids, the grids themselves can be orthogonal or non-orthogonal. Extension of the finite volume technique to compressible fluids as well as turbulent flows is possible.
This text provides a comprehensive background to the numerical solution of equations arising in fluid flow and heat transfer problems. Robust methods which have emerged in the past decade for solving physical problems involving complex geometry as well as complex physics are emphasised. Algorithms suitable for main frame as well as desktop computing are covered. One of the goals of the book is to make well-developed numerical techniques immediately accessible to senior undergraduate and postgraduate students, college teachers, designers and research workers who would like to employ computational tools in their profession. Each of these groups will be aware of the host of applications where computational fluid flow and heat transfer is expected to make its mark. These include: performance prediction of thermal and nuclear power plants; aerospace and defence applications, steel mills, polymer and food processing industry; cement plants; themal design of electronic circuit boards and enhanced oil recovery from porous rock formation.
