This book is an introduction to computational fluid dynamics with emphasis on the modeling and calculation of boundary-layer flows. The subjects coverd include laminar, transitional and turbulent boundary layers for two- and three-dimensional incompressible flows. The viscous-inviscid coupling between the boundary layer and the inviscid flow is also addressed. A large number of homework problems are included. A variety of readers including undergraduate and graduate students, teachers and scientists working in aerodynamics or hydrodynamics will gain a good understanding of the principles and applications of boundary-layer flows and related numerical methods.

Engineering

This book is an introduction to computational fluid dynamics with emphasis on the solution of the boundary-layer equations and the modeling and computation of boundary-layer flows. It also provides readers with a good understanding of the basic principles of fluid dynamics and numerical methods. A variety of readers, including undergraduate and graduate students, teachers or scientists working in aerodynamics or hydrodynamics will find the text interesting. The subjects covered in this book include laminar and , turbulent boundary layers and laminar--turbulent transition. The viscous--inviscid coupling between the boundary layer and the inviscid flow is also addressed. Two-dimensional and three-dimensional incompressible flows are considered. Physical and numerical aspects of boundary-layer flows are described in detail in 12 chapters. A large number of homework problems are included.

Modeling and Computation of Boundary-Layer Flows: Laminar, Turbulent and Transitional Boundary Layers in Incompressible Flows : Solutions Manual and Computer Programs

Cousteix, Jean

Explores the equations that govern heat and momentum transfer in laminar and turbulent boundary-layer lows with small temperature differences and buoyant flows. Numerical solutions, a large number of homework problems and several computer programs based on differential and integral methods are included.

Convective Heat Transfer

Tuncer Cebeci

Physics

This book presents the solutions to the problems in convective heat transfer. It also contains computer programs to solve homework problems on the CD accompanying the book. These programs are based on differential and integral methods.

This book/CD-ROM package briefly reviews the more popular turbulence models, then discusses accurate and efficient numerical methods for solving boundary-layer equations with turbulence models based on algebraic formulas or partial-differential transport equations. A computer program employing the Cebeci-Smith model and other models for obtaining the solution of two-dimensional incompressible turbulent flows is discussed in detail and is presented on the accompany CD-ROM. A computer program for obtaining solutions on airfoils and wakes is also provided. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Turbulence Models and Their Application: Efficient Numerical Methods With Computer Programs

Computers & Technology

Networking & Cloud Computing

This book/CD-ROM package addresses transitions from laminar to turbulent flows and considers solutions that rely on the linear stability theory and the ways in which it can be implemented accurately by numerical procedures. Although one chapter is devoted to an approach based on the Navier-Stokes equations, the book focuses on transition of wall boundary layers. Early chapters summarize physical knowledge of the transition process, consider stability equations, and describe numerical methods for solving these equations. Later chapters describe computer programs based on the stability-theory approach, and a final chapter examines a computer program within the framework of parabolized stability equations. These programs are provided on the accompanying CD-ROM. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Accompanying CD-ROM contains soure code and executable programs and test cases.

Modeling And Computation of Boundary-layer Flows

History reminds us of ancient examples of fluid dynamics applications such as the Roman baths and aqueducts that fulfilled the requirements of the engineers who built them; of ships of various types with adequate hull designs, and of wind energy systems, built long before the subject of fluid mechanics was formalized by Reynolds, Newton, Euler, Navier, Stokes, Prandtl and others. The twentieth century has witnessed many more examples of applications of fluid dynamics for the use of humanity, all designed without the use of electronic computers. They include prime movers such as internal-combustion engines, gas and steam turbines, flight vehicles, and environmental systems for pollution control and ventilation. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) deals with the numerical analysis of these phenomena. Despite impressive progress in recent years, CFD remains an imperfect tool in the comparatively mature discipline of fluid dynamics, partly because electronic digital computers have been in widespread use for less than thirty years. The Navier-Stokes equations, which govern the motion of a Newtonian viscous fluid were formulated well over a century ago. The most straightforward method of attacking any fluid dynamics problem is to solve these equations for the appropriate boundary conditions. Analytical solutions are few and trivial and, even with today's supercomputers, numerically exact solution of the complete equations for the three-dimensional, time-dependent motion of turbulent flow is prohibitively expensive except for basic research studies in sim ple configurations at low Reynolds numbers. Therefore, the "straightforward" approach is still impracticable for engineering purposes.
