Beschreibung:
This book provides an accessible introduction to the basic theory of fluid mechanics and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) from a modern perspective that unifies theory and numerical computation. Methods of scientific computing are introduced alongside with theoretical analysis and MATLAB® codes are presented and discussed for a broad range of topics: from interfacial shapes in hydrostatics, to vortex dynamics, to viscous flow, to turbulent flow, to panel methods for flow past airfoils.
Introduction to Kinematics.- More on Kinematics.- Flow Computation based on Kinematics.- Forces and Stresses.- Hydrostatics.- Equation of Motion and Vorticity Transport.- Channel, Tube, and Film Flow.- Finite-Difference Methods.- Low-Reynolds-Number Flow.- High-Reynolds-Number Flow.- Vortex Motion.- Aerodynamics.
