Computational fluid dynamics has been a hot topic of research these last
forty years, and several books have been published on this topics. This book
concentrates on the numerical of Computational Fluid Mechanics, followed
by some focus of new development of classical methods, and to the recent
methods appearing in this field.
The present volume presents in nine chapters a selection of some
numerical methods used in computational fluid mechanics including:
mathematical models in computational fluid mechanics, numerical methods
in computational fluid mechanics, finite volume, finite difference, finite
element, spectral methods, smoothed particle hydrodynamics methods,
mixed-element-volume methods, free surface flow. The topics covered in this
book are wide ranging and demonstrate the extensive use in computational
fluid mechanics.
