Applied cfd techniques

Given the pervasive use of simulation techniques and virtual prototyping in engineering, physics and medicine, the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software business is growing and developing at an incredible pace.Introducing the reader to the techniques required to achieve efficient CFD solvers, this text forms a bridge between basic theoretical and algorithmic aspects of the Finite Element Method and its use in an industrial context. Here, methods have to be both as simple, but also as robust as possible, to allow very large-scale computations, such as flow around a complete aircraft structure, to be performed safely and reliably.In addition to the traditional use of CDF techniques by the aerospace and automotive industry, new applications are also discussed in this text, covering fields as diverse as engineering, medicine and physics.? Covers the whole range of topics required for a thorough study and understanding of CFD? Contains pieces of 'pseudo-code', making it easier to code techniques for students
