This well-known 2-volume textbook provides senior undergraduate and postgraduate engineers, scientists and applied mathematicians with the specific techniques, and the framework to develop skills in using the techniques in the various branches of computational fluid dynamics. Volume 1 systematically develops fundamental computational techniques, partial differential equations including 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 discretion, is emphasized. For the second edition the author also compiled a separately available manual of solutions to the many exercises to be found in the main text.

Computational Techniques for Fluid Dynamics : Fundamental an,
By Randal Samstag (Seattle, WA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Computational Techniques for Fluid Dynamics: Fundamental and General Techniques (Scientific Computation) (Paperback)
This volume is an extremely clear summary of basic theory and comparative techniques for computational resolution of fluid mechanics problems. Code examples are clear and extremely helpful to practitioners trying to produce useful models.

By A Customer
This review is from: Computational Techniques for Fluid Dynamics: Fundamental and General Techniques (Scientific Computation) (Paperback)
The reader should be familer with the general techniques of Computaional Science. This book does an excellent review of thoes basic techniques which are basic for computational fluid dynamics. I just finished reading it and am Now starting on the second volume. I am doing a computer Simulation of Ship wakes and this book is I think nesessary reading before a researcher dives in to the mass of research papers published in this field.
4.0 out of 5 stars

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Computational Techniques for Fluid Dynamics, Vol. 1: Fundamental and General Techniques (Paperback)
Good book, and text book was just as advertised. The price was fair. Overall, I was quite satisfied with the purchase. The textbook itself is very readable and makes the material very accessible.
