5.0 out of 5 stars Magnificent Introduction to CFD
Dr. Roache has improved on the best book ever written on Computational Fluid Dynamics. No other CFD book contains as thorough and complete a bibliography citing ALL of the significent contributions to CFD since its beginning. This remains an outstanding reference text, especially for newcomers to the field.

2.0 out of 5 stars Outdated
CFD is a rapidly evolving area. The advances made in the last couple of decades are quite significant. This book describes the techniques that were state-of-the art many years ago. The extra chapters in part II of the book do not cover the new techniques in sufficient depth. Therefore it is my opinion that the book has only historical value. I regreted buying it and I...

CFD is a rapidly evolving area. The advances made in the last couple of decades are quite significant. This book describes the techniques that were state-of-the art many years ago. The extra chapters in part II of the book do not cover the new techniques in sufficient depth. Therefore it is my opinion that the book has only historical value. I regreted buying it and I propose the book by Ferziger & Peric for the engineer/scientist who wants to seriously get involved with CFD.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great reference book, June 18, 2000
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Fundamentals of Computational Fluid Dynamics (Hardcover)
This book is an expanded version of Roache's classical book on CFD. It addresses simulation of incompressible (stream-function and primitive-variable formulation) and compressible flow. The level of detail of the presentation makes the book adequate for beginners and experienced CFD practitioners alike. New material include topics on grid generation and multigrid. Although some of this new material is convered on relatively short chapters, the book remains a very solid reference.
