Sommario/riassunto |
|
This book, 'The Finite Element Method for Fluid Dynamics', authored by Olek C. Zienkiewicz, Robert L. Taylor, and P. Nithiarasu, provides a comprehensive exploration of the finite element method as applied to fluid dynamics. The text covers fundamental equations of fluid dynamics, numerical methods, and advanced topics such as |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
convection-dominated problems, turbulence modeling, compressible flows, and porous media. It is designed to serve as both a theoretical and practical guide, incorporating the latest developments in the field. The book is intended for researchers, practitioners, and graduate-level students in engineering and computational sciences, aiming to enhance understanding and application of finite element techniques in solving complex fluid dynamic problems. |
