Computational Fluid Dynamics

Exploring new variations of classical methods as well as recent approaches appearing in the field, this book demonstrates the extensive use of numerical techniques and mathematical models in fluid mechanics. It covers finite volume, finite difference, finite element, spectral, smoothed particle hydrodynamics, mixed-element-volume, and free surface flow methods, along with many real-world applications. The contributors show how the SPH-ALE method properly represents highly distorted interfaces and dynamic flows. They also describe the solution of complex flow problems via direct numerical simulation, Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes equations, and large eddy simulation.
