Overview
This book is concerned with mathematical and numerical methods for compressible flow. It aims to provide the reader with a sufficiently detailed and extensive, mathematically precise, but comprehensible guide, through a wide spectrum of mathematical and computational methods used in Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) for the numerical simulation of compressible flow. Up-to-date techniques applied in the numerical solution of inviscid as well as viscous compressible flow on unstructured meshes are explained, thus allowing the simulation of complex three-dimensional technically relevant problems. Among some of the methods addressed are finite volume methods using approximate Riemann solvers, finite element techniques, such as the streamline diffusion and the discontinuous Galerkin methods, and combined finite volume - finite element schemes. The book gives a complex insight into the numerics of compressible flow, covering the development of numerical schemes and their theoretical mathematical analysis, their verification on test problems and use in solving practical engineering problems. The book will be helpful to specialists coming into contact with CFD - pure and applied mathematicians, aerodynamists, engineers, physicists and natural scientists. It will also be suitable for advanced undergraduate, graduate and postgraduate students of mathematics and technical sciences.

Reviews
... provides a very comprehensive coverage of mathematical and numerical aspects pertinent to compressible flow simulation. It would certainly be of interest to numerical analysts and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) practitioners alike. Contemporary Physics This book presents an up-to-date overview of numerical methods for the solution of inviscid and viscous flows with particular emphasis on finite volume and finite element methods. Journal of Fluid Mechanics Overall the book contains substantial information on numerical schemes within the finite volume and finite element frameworks. A particularly interesting part in this book is the implementation of state-of-the-art methods in the context of unstructured grids. The book is therefore a welcome addition to the computational fluid dynamics literature. Journal of Fluid Mechanics
