description: The second edition of Numerical Computation of Internal and External Flows is a self-contained introduction to computational fluid dynamics (CFD). It covers the fundamentals of the subject required in an introductory course for senior undergraduate or graduate 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.Key Features:• 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 http://books.elsevier.com for details.• Includes Best-Practice guidelines for applying existing commercial or shareware CFD tools
