Product Description
The second edition of this classic book delivers the most up to date and comprehensive text available on computational fluid dynamics for engineers and mathematicians. Already renowned for its range and authority, this new edition has been significantly developed in terms of both contents and scope. A complete, self contained text, it will form the basis of study for many leading CFD courses at senior undergraduate and graduate level: a truly formidable resource covering the fundamentals of CFD.
. New approach takes readers seamlessly from first principles to more advanced and applied topics
. Presents the essential components of a simulation system at a level suitable for those coming into contact with CFD for the first time, and is ideal for those who need a comprehensive refresher on the fundamentals of CFD
. Enhanced pedagogy features chapter objectives, hands-on practice examples and end of chapter exercises
. Extended coverage of finite difference, finite
volume and finite element methods
. New chapters include an introduction to grid
properties and the use of grids in practice
. Includes material on 2-D inviscid, potential
and Euler flows, 2-D viscous flows, Navier-
Stokes flows to enable the reader to develop basic CFD simulations
. Accompanied by downloadable computer code for the numerical solution of 1-D convection and convection - diffusion problems, plus test cases. Visit http://books.elsevier.com for details.
. Includes Best-Practice guidelines for applying existing commercial or shareware CFD tools
. Solutions Manual for registered lecturers is available by e-mailing textbook@elsevier.com

 Kindle Version July 20, 2010
Kenneth P. Maynard (Virginia Beach, VA, USA)
I did not purchase the full Kindle version, but, previewing the Introduction, I found the equations too small to read, and the figures seem equally miniscule. Did not review content.
 Improved CFD textbook September 23, 2008

The new text is a huge improvement over Hirsch's previous two-volume text on the same subject. It's still arranged a bit like an encyclopedia rather than a textbook, but it could be the best introductory CFD text.
Very good book for Fluid Dynamics simulations. May 5, 2008
