"The book strikes a good balance between practical advice and
mathematically oriented explanations. It covers some of the most
important real-life CFD topics in depth, such as the issue of
turbulence modeling, meshing, or the choice of the boundary
conditions."
Marek Behr, RWTH Aachen University, Germany"Well written and easy
to understand. It describes the basic concepts of accuracy,
artificial viscosity and stability in a systematic and logical way.
Moreover, the introduction of [artificial] viscosity and flux
limiters are rarely found or discussed in the other CFD textbooks.
This is an excellent textbook to have for students, lecturers and
practicing professionals alike. I would like to have this book on
my shelf."
Dr. K. Djidjeli, University of Southampton, UK"This relatively
short book is intended for the user of commercial computational
fluid dynamics (CFD) packages, as opposed to the developer of such
programs. Müeller (Queen Mary Univ. of London, UK) taught CFD to
undergraduate students for many years, and he developed the book to
accompany a first course on the topic for aerospace or mechanical
engineering students. The first eight chapters emphasize the basic
physics and the microscopic description of the mathematical
equations of fluid mechanics (both laminar and turbulent) and the
description and application of finite element mesh modeling of
these equations in the vicinity of various geometrical bodies, with
appropriate boundary conditions. The sources of errors and the pros
and cons of the various turbulent models are also described.
Chapter 9 presents several case studies, and chapter 10, the
appendix, is a program for a 2-D finite volume application. A short
list of exercises follows each chapter. Students will need a solid
grounding in basic fluid mechanics and numerical analysis to follow
this text."
