The Finite Volume Method in Computational Fluid Dynamics: An Advanced Introduction with OpenFOAM® and Matlab (Fluid Mechanics and Its Applications, 113)

This comprehensive textbook provides a detailed exploration of the Finite Volume Method (FVM) and its applications in Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD).

With over 220 figures, numerous examples, and more than one hundred exercises on FVM numerics, programming, and applications, this book is suitable for use in an introductory course on the FVM, in an advanced course on numerics, and as a reference for CFD programmers and researchers.

The authors provide an introduction to fluid dynamics presupposing but a modicum of mathematical and physical knowledge, making it accessible to readers from various backgrounds.

The book covers topics such as unstructured pressure-based CFD solvers, collocated FVM discretization, and incompressible and compressible flow modeling.

The text is well-organized, easy to read, and includes special chapters on modelling incompressible and compressible flow, making it a valuable resource for students, researchers, and practitioners in the field of CFD.
