XXV, 893 pp. Hard cover DM 198,-. ISBN 3-540-19466-5 This is a textbook for senior undergraduate and graduate engineers, scientists and applied mathematicians. It provides them with the specific techniques that have proven effective in the various branches of computational fluid dynamics. It also provides them with the framework to develop skills in using those techniques. Volume 1 systematically develops the fundamental computational techniques that are required to predict flow behavior of Newtonian fluids. Relevant background material is provided on partial differential equations, convergence, stability and consistency and equation solution methods. A unified treatment of finite difference, finite element, finite volume and spectral methods, as alternative means of discretization, is emphasized.
