Overview

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.

Reviews

From the reviews<br> This book will be certainly very useful to all hydrodynamicians involved in numerical simulations of complex flows. (Physiclia, 2000)<br> (...) the book is a welcome and valuable addition to the important field of boundary-layer calculations and should assist in changing the unfortunate tendency to utilize CFD codes written by others in situations for which they are not appropriate. (European Journal of Mechanics, 1999)
