The second edition of the Numerical Computation of Internal and External Flows is a self-contained introduction to computational fluid dynamics (CFD). It covers the fundamentals of the subject in an introductory course for senior undergraduate level students. It is also ideal for readers who need a comprehensive reference to CFD theory and practice, or as the basis for more advanced study and simulation development.
The second edition of this classic book delivers the most up to date and comprehensive text available on computational fluid dynamics for engineers and mathematicians. Already renowned for its range and authority, this new edition has been significantly developed in terms of both contents and scope. A complete, self contained text, it will form the basis of study for many leading CFD courses at senior undergraduate and graduate level: a truly formidable resource covering the fundamentals of CFD.
• New approach takes readers seamlessly from first principles to more advanced and applied topics
• Presents the essential components of a simulation system at a level suitable for those coming into contact with CFD for the first time, and is ideal for those who need a comprehensive refresher on the fundamentals of CFD
• Enhanced pedagogy features chapter objectives, hands-on practice examples and end of chapter exercises
• Extended coverage of finite difference, finite
volume and finite element methods
• New chapters include an introduction to grid
properties and the use of grids in practice
• Includes material on 2-D inviscid, potential
and Euler flows, 2-D viscous flows, Navier-
Stokes flows to enable the reader to develop basic CFD simulations
• Accompanied by downloadable computer code for the numerical solution of 1-D convection and convection – diffusion problems, plus test cases. Visit
