Editorial Reviews

A textbook for graduate and senior undergraduate students in applied mathematics, physics, and various engineering fields, in which engineers and a mathematician from various US universities introduce the relatively new method for solving fluid flow and heat transfer problems by computer simulation. They also discuss several related topics in the general domain of computational fluid dynamics such as generating grids and treating boundary conditions. Readers are expected to have some knowledge of differential equations and analytic methods such as separating variables for solving simple equations. Annotation c.
