Elements of Computational Fluid Dynamics
Elements of Computational Fluid Dynamics by John D. Ramshaw, published by Imperial College Press in 2011, offers a concise introduction to the fundamental concepts of computational fluid dynamics (CFD). This 127-page book is designed for beginners and presents the essential principles of CFD in a clear and accessible manner. It covers key analytical tools, including truncation-error and stability analyses, and introduces the basic numerical methods used to address sources, diffusion, convection, and pressure waves.
Readers will find a structured approach that combines these elements to develop self-contained numerical methods for solving the full equations of fluid dynamics. The content is suitable for self-study and can serve as a textbook for CFD short courses, as well as a supplementary resource for more comprehensive texts in the fields of mathematics, mechanics, and engineering. This edition is presented in English and is designed to facilitate a foundational understanding of the subject matter.
Official synopsis Publisher
This book is a brief introduction to the fundamental concepts of computational fluid dynamics (CFD). It is addressed to beginners, and presents the ABCs or bare essentials of CFD in their simplest and most transparent form. The approach taken is to describe the principal analytical tools required, including truncation-error and stability analyses, followed by the basic elements or building blocks of CFD, which are numerical methods for treating sources, diffusion, convection, and pressure waves. Finally, it is shown how those ingredients may be combined to obtain self-contained numerical methods for solving the full equations of fluid dynamics. The book should be suitable for self-study, as a textbook for CFD short courses, and as a supplement to more comprehensive CFD and fluid dynamics texts.
