See all formats and editions

Computational Fluid Dynamics, Second Edition, provides an introduction to CFD fundamentals that focuses on the use of commercial CFD software to solve engineering problems. This new edition provides expanded coverage of CFD techniques including discretisation via finite element and spectral element as well as finite difference and finite volume methods and multigrid method.

There is additional coverage of high-pressure fluid dynamics and meshless approach to provide a broader overview of the application areas where CFD can be used. The book combines an appropriate level of mathematical background, worked examples, computer screen shots, and step-by-step processes, walking students through modeling and computing as well as interpretation of CFD results.

It is ideal for senior level undergraduate and graduate students of mechanical, aerospace, civil, chemical, environmental and marine engineering. It can also help beginner users of commercial CFD software tools (including CFX and FLUENT).

  • A more comprehensive coverage of CFD techniques including discretisation via finite element and spectral element as well as finite difference and finite volume methods and multigrid method
  • Coverage of different approaches to CFD grid generation in order to closely match how CFD meshing is being used in industry
  • Additional coverage of high-pressure fluid dynamics and meshless approach to provide a broader overview of the application areas where CFD can be used

About the Author

Dr. Chaoqun Liu received both BS (1968) and MS (1981) from Tsinghua University, Beijing, China and PhD (1989) from University of Colorado at Denver, USA. He is currently the Tenured and Distinguished Professor and the Director of Center for Numerical Simulation and Modeling at University of Texas at Arlington, Arlington, Texas, USA. He has worked on high order direct numerical simulation (DNS) and large eddy simulation (LES) for flow transition and turbulence for over 30 years since 1989. He has published 11 professional books, 120 journal papers and 145 conference papers. He is the founder and major contributor of the third generation of vortex identification methods including the Omega, Liutex/Rortex, Liutex-Omega, Modified Liutex-Omega, Liutex Core Line methods, RS vorticity decomposition and R-NR velocity gradient decomposition.

Jiyuan Tu is Professor and Deputy Head, Research and Innovation, Department of Aerospace, Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, at Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT) University, Australia. Professor Tu’s research interests are in the areas of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and numerical heat transfer (NHT), computational and experimental modelling of multiphase flows, fluid-structure interaction, optimal design of drug delivery devices, and simulation of blood flow in arteries.

Guan Heng Yeoh is a professor at the School of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, UNSW, and a principal research scientist at ANSTO. He is the founder and editor of the Journal of Computational Multiphase Flows and the group leader of Computational Thermal-Hydraulics of OPAL Research Reactor, ANSTO. He has approximately 250 publications including 10 books, 12 book chapters, 156 journal articles and 115 conference papers with an H-index of 33 and over 4490 citations. His research interests are computational fluid dynamics (CFD); numerical heat and mass transfer; turbulence modelling using Reynolds averaging and large eddy simulation; combustion, radiation heat transfer, soot formation and oxidation, and solid pyrolysis in fire engineering; fundamental studies in multiphase flows: free surface, gas-particle, liquid-solid (blood flow and nanoparticles), and gas-liquid (bubbly, slug/cap, churn-turbulent, and subcooled nucleate boiling flows); computational modelling of industrial systems of single-phase and multiphase flows.

Disappointed that the colour images of calculated example flows which are highlighted in the sample pages (in 'look inside') on the webpage are actually black and white in the book. It spoils the clarity of the presentations.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Excellent Reference for CFD Software Users
Reviewed in the United States on 4 June 2014

I manage data centers and computer rooms for my organization. I am an information technology professional, and not a mechanical engineer. Over the years, I have found using CFD tools invaluable in helping me to determine the state of our computing facilities with regards to maintaining proper cooling in our high-density computing environments.
I had purchased other CFD books with the goal of helping me to better understand the CFD software that I use. But, this is the first book that I feel is designed for the CFD user, as opposed to the CFD developer.
But, I should add, that you will need to reference Google and YouTube to refresh your algebra and calculus skills.

Muy buen libro para todos aquellos que hayan estudiado mecánica de fluidos desde un punto de vista teórico y quieran ver, de un modo superficial, las aplicaciones informáticas para resolver los problemas. Una primera introducción a los CFD's. Considero que proporciona una buena base para entender como funcionan los módulos que integran los paquetes de software de Siemens, etc.
