Product description

From the Back Cover

The use of Computational Fluid Dynamics to simulate and predict fluid flows, heat transfer and associated phenomena continues to grow throughout many engineering disciplines. On the back of ever more powerful computers and graphical user interfaces CFD provides engineers with a reliable tool to assist in the design of industrial equipment often reducing or eliminating the need for performing trial-and-error experimentation.

An Introduction to Computational Fluid Dynamics is the ideal text for the newcomer to the area whether they be undergraduates, graduates, or professionals. It provides thorough yet accessible coverage of commercial finite volume based CFD codes within the context of the underlying theory, giving the reader a full appreciation of CFD and its numerous engineering applications.

Key features

  • Offers essential support for novice users of commercial CFD codes such as ANSYS CFX, FLUENT, STAR-CD and PHOENICS.
  • Covers fluids and turbulence physics together with computational modelling techniques
  • Uses a step-by-step approach to introduce the methodology
  • Chapter summaries and worked examples throughout to reinforce understanding of the key concepts

New to this edition

  • A new chapter describing unstructured meshing techniques
  • A new chapter on CFD uncertainty
  • New coverage of the fundamentals of Large-Eddy Simulation (LES) and Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS) techniques
  • Summaries of TVD techniques and multi-grid solution techniques
  • Added examples of the SIMPLE algorithm for pressure-velocity coupling
  • Two new chapters with advanced material covering combustion and radiative heat transfer modelling

H K Versteeg and W Malalasekera are both senior lecturers in Thermo-Fluids, at Loughborough University.

2.0 out of 5 stars Fails to cover the relevant content.
Reviewed in Canada on 23 May 2023
Verified Purchase
This should not be your go to CFD book. This is because it chooses to sacrifice relevant content for irrelevant content. The first three chapters are essentially filler content that will do a relatively poor job of reviewing other CFD concepts. The book does a good job at explaining convection-diffusion and diffusion problems and some numerical methods for numerically solving systems of equations (one chapter each) , but ultimately fails to tie everything together to actually solve something like the navier-stokes equation. The chapter on linking pressure and velocity fields is terrible, and the rest of the book jumps to more complicated topics without adequately covering the basics. Again, this CFD book does not actually solve or even discretize the navier-stokes or any other relevant fluid dynamics equation at any point. Other textbooks are more complete and do a better job at covering this problem.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ottimo libro per corsi di introduzione alla CFD universitari
Reviewed in Italy on 24 August 2016

Ho preparato un esame di Ingegneria Energetica (Laurea Magistrale). E' molto chiaro, tutto spiegato passo a passo, l'ordine degli argomenti è lineare e permette di avere una panoramica generale su tutti i maggiori problemi numerici, entrando poi nei dettagli di alcuni dei principali algoritmi nel campo della fluidodinamica. L'inglese è molto semplice e intuitivo, non è richiesto un livello particolarmente elevato.

1) Il capitolo sull'introduzione al fenomeno della turbolenza è chiarissimo e molto interessante
2) Il capitolo sui vari modelli di turbolenza è doveroso, pregate che non vi sia richeisto di saperli tutti a memoria come è successo a me. comunque nulla da eccepire, ci sono proprio tutti e spiegati passo a passo.
3) i capitoli sulla discretizzazione e sull'accoppiamento delle equazioni sono molto chiari, forniscono esempi via via più complessi permettendo di comprendere all'atto pratico cosa fa ciascun algoritmo.
4) Sono poi presentati dei casi particolari applicazioni della CFD, il più complesso è senz'altro il processo di combustione, il cui capitolo è solo un'introduzione sommaria. L'esame che ho sostenuto copriva anche quell'argomento quindi l'ho trovato utile.
5) viceversa dovevo anche preparare una parte di studio abbastanza generale sui problemi di moti multifase, ma non è nominato su questo testo. Del resto, si tratta di un problema molto complesso, non è da ritenersi obbligatorio in un testo introduttivo.

Il prezzo è, ahimè, quello di mercato. Segnalo la presenza di un volume analogo, con copertina diversa ma contenuto identico (penso provenga da qualche paese in via di sviluppo con edizioni dedicate), costa circa la metà. Qualità della carta molto buona (per l'originale), un po' più scadente per quello economico, visto però lo sconto importante ne vale la pena. Io ho preso questa copia originale perchè con Amazon Prime è arrivato in tre giorni, mentre la versione più economica arriva da venditori terzi e quindi circa 2 settimane di attesa le dovete mettere in conto. Anche in questo caso, se non avete fretta, andate in giro per Amazon e controllate che vi sia questa altra versione disponibile!

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Update From First Edition
Reviewed in the United States on 22 July 2013

This is a very readable and practical book that focuses only on incompressible semi-implicit methods. It is an introduction, it moves at a slower pace and covers less ground than the Ferziger & Peric book, but what it does address is very well explained. I own both the first and second edition. I had reviewed the first edition 10 years ago and was only moderately impressed because it was similar to Patankar's book but published 15 years later. The 2nd edition has added a lot of material which advances the topic quite a bit from the 1st edition.

My main complaint about the first edition was that it focused on Cartesian structured grids which is pretty dated. The new version has a chapter on collocation of variables and how to handle the pressure gradient in the continuity correction step. Additionally it explains how to account for convection and diffusion in generalized non-Cartesian coordinates. It would be nice if storage and solution methods were explained for the iterative solver needed for an unstructured mesh but that aside the material presented in this new chapter is very well explained.

Another nice touch is explanation of multigrid techniques as an iterative solver. The authors allude to implementing multigrid into the outer iterations but do not drill down on the topic.

There is a chapter explaining the introduction for turbulence modeling but it is not complete enough to implement without supplemental sources.

This book gives very detailed step by step explanations of many things in the first edition, detailed examples of calculations and results are shown which really illustrate the method and where the pitfalls are. There are less examples for the newer material, but it is still explained carefully. The material is very accessible. One could use this book by itself to write a very basic code based on this method. I could imagine if the authors were to make a third edition where turbulence, multigrid and unstructured solution techniques were addressed with the same depth as some of the other topics that the book could become a real institution.
