Editorial Reviews

Reflecting the mushrooming of computational capability and experimentation costs, as well as the non-practicality of solving analytically the complex equations governing the engineering design of fluid flow and thermal systems, contributors to these nine chapters illustrate the basic mathematical concepts, problems, diverse applications, and future directions of the major design tool of numerical simulation of computational fluid dynamics. The CFD modeling process is described for inlet, duct, nozzle, and turbine flows, as well as for air quality control. Intended for those in the environmental sciences, energy systems, mechanical and chemical engineering, and aerospace fields. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
