Sommario/riassunto

This book offers a complete introduction to the application of the finite element method to fluid mechanics. It begins with a useful summary of all relevant partial differential equations before moving on to discuss convection stabilization procedures, steady and transient state equations, and numerical solution of fluid dynamic equations.
