This textbook and exercise book is aimed at future users of computational fluid dynamics software. In addition to the comprehensibly presented basics, the focus is on technical examples treated in detail with supplementary practical hints. Comprehension questions including applications give the beginner confidence in fundamental relationships. The original 4th German edition has been adapted to the latest program version ANSYS 18.1.
Aim and structure of the book.- Conservation equations of fluid mechanics.- Discretization.- Computational meshes.- Solution procedure.- Procedure of a numerical flow calculation.- Three application examples.
Dr.-Ing. Stefan Lecheler is Professor of Thermodynamics in the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering at the University of the Federal Armed Forces in Munich. He also teaches computational fluid dynamics there in the Master's program in Computer Aided Engineering.
