Applied computational fluid dynamics and turbulence modeling : practical tools tips and techniques This unique text provides engineering students and practicing professionals with a comprehensive set of practical hands on guidelines and dozens of step by step examples for performing state of the art reliable computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and turbulence modeling. Key CFD and turbulence programs are included as well. The text first reviews basic CFD theory and then details advanced applied theories for estimating turbulence including new algorithms created by the author. The book gives practical advice on selecting appropriate turbulence models and presents best CFD practices for modeling and generating reliable simulations. The author gathered and developed the book’s hundreds of tips tricks and examples over three decades of research and development at three national laboratories and at the University of New Mexico—many in print for the first time in this book. The book also places a strong emphasis on recent CFD and turbulence advancements found in the literature over the past five to 10 years. Readers can apply the author’s advice and insights whether using commercial or national laboratory software such as ANSYS Fluent STAR CCM COMSOL Flownex SimScale OpenFOAM Fuego KIVA BIGHORN or their own computational tools. Applied Computational Fluid Dynamics and Turbulence Modeling is a practical complementary companion for academic CFD textbooks and senior project courses in mechanical civil chemical and nuclear engineering; senior undergraduate and graduate CFD and turbulence modeling courses; and for professionals developing commercial and research applications.
