Very good.......2007-03-12
Very clear introduction to the finite volume method, with worked examples at the end of a topic to illustrate the points being discussed.
good to jumpstart in CFD.......2004-06-28
it is very good book in CFD for novice people.
Good Intro To Finite Volume Method Circa 1990.......2003-10-16
I titled this almost recent book(1995) in such a way because it presents methods that are somewhat outdated as compared to the publishing date.
Having said that, it is a clear introduction to the subject regarding implicit finite volume calculations. It definitely provides enough detail to cobble together a working code if one so desires and nicely covers a lot of small extras that are important in understanding the development of the method. However, it really does not advance the subject much beyond Patankar's book (1980) and it is a little distressing that it misses out on recent advances to this area of CFD. Most notably is that it presents the only solution to pressure-velocity coupling problem to be the staggered grid : well yes that method is robust, but since before 1990 people have been successfully writing robust codes using co-located grids which are really a lot more friendly to work with (especially if one is considering unstructured grids). Also more modern matrix solution methods are currently usually used than are mentioned in the book. Also it does not mention the advantages of multi-grid methods. But all of these are quibbles for a book titled, "An Introduction ..."
For the professional practioner or those looking for a more encompassing and up to date book on the topic I recommend they look at the book by Ferzinger and Peric. However that book is much more advanced in the presentation of the material and might not be suitable to some people as an introduction.
A great introduction.......2000-04-15
If your new or interested in the field of CFD this book with introduction to cfd by john d anderson should be in your personal library. Great book by a great price
A good introduction to CFD.......2000-04-12
Having first started to read Numerical Heat Transfer and Fluid Flow by Patankar and finding it a little complex, this book set out the fundamentals in a logical way. The use of examples throughout the book were a good learning tool.
A good introductory book to using CFD.
Book Description
This is a textbook for advanced undergraduate and first-year graduate students in mechanical, aerospace, and chemical engineering. The book emphasizes understanding CFD through physical principles and examples. The author follows a consistent philosophy of control volume formulation of the fundamental laws of fluid motion and energy transfer, and introduces a novel notion of 'smoothing pressure correction' for solution of flow equations on collocated grids within the framework of the well-known SIMPLE algorithm. The subject matter is developed by considering pure conduction/diffusion, convective transport in 2-dimensional boundary layers and in fully elliptic flow situations and phase-change problems in succession. The book includes chapters on discretization of equations for transport of mass, momentum and energy on Cartesian, structured curvilinear and unstructured meshes, solution of discretised equations, numerical grid generation and convergence enhancement. Practicing engineers will find this particularly useful for reference and for continuing education.

Fantastic introductory treatment of CFD.......2007-04-27
This book is a must-read for any practicing engineer who needs to come up to speed on the basic techniques of CFD quickly. It provides enough information for one to start writing code to model operating equipment with confidence. A second excellent book on this topic is referred to by Date as well: "Numerical Heat Transfer and Fluid Flow" by Patankar.
Excellent book for both students and practitioners.......2005-10-18
During my final year project in CFD at IIT, I went through a number of books on Introduction to the topic. Among all of them, I think this is the best book from the point of view of students. This is an exceptional book for an introductory course in CFD. This book helps a student make the transition from analytical solutions to numerical methods easier. A lot of books on the subject tend to lose the physics part and divert to numerical analysis totally. To familiarize the reader with grid generation, both structured and unstructured grids have been covered in detail. Sufficient example code has also been provided in the appendix.
Book Description
The only one of its kind devoted entirely to the subject,
Large Eddy Simulation presents a comprehensive account and a unified view of this young but very rich discipline. LES is the only efficient technique for approaching high Reynolds numbers when simulating industrial, natural or experimental configurations. The author concentrates on incompressible fluids and chooses topics well to treat both the mathematical ideas and the applications with care. The book addresses researchers as well as graduate students and engineers. The second edition was a greatly enriched version motivated both by the increasing theoretical interest in LES and the increasing number of applications. Two entirely new chapters were devoted to the coupling of LES with multiresolution multidomain techniques and to the new hybrid approaches that relate the LES procedures to the classical statistical methods based on the Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes equations.
This 3rd edition adds various sections to the text like a careful error analysis, on filtered density function models and multiscale models. It also contains two new chapters on the prediction of scalars using LES which are of considerable interest for engineering and geophysical modeling. The part on geophysical flow has much to offer on a critical current issue.

Good Book!!.......2007-07-12
Great Job, this book is good, but is very tiring. Because the subject is extensive.
Thank you!!
An atlas of large-eddy simulation.......2006-06-02
This book presents the current status of Large-Eddy Simulation (LES) and is invaluable for anyone working on the field.
The author presents all relevant subgrid scale models, the theoretical basis of the method, lessons from practical cases, etc
It is no accident that this is the 3rd revision in 4 years, collecting forewords from leading theoreticians along the way: Germano, Lesieur and Meneveau.
Book Description
Lattice Boltzmann models have a remarkable ability to simulate single- and multi-phase fluids and transport processes within them. A rich variety of behaviors, including higher Reynolds numbers flows, phase separation, evaporation, condensation, cavitation, buoyancy, and interactions with surfaces can readily be simulated. This book provides a basic introduction that emphasizes intuition and simplistic conceptualization of processes. It avoids the more difficult mathematics that underlies LB models. The model is viewed from a particle perspective where collisions, streaming, and particle-particle/particle-surface interactions constitute the entire conceptual framework. Beginners and those with more interest in model application than detailed mathematical foundations will find this a powerful "quick start" guide. Example simulations, exercises, and computer codes are included. Working code is provided on the Internet.

Book Description
This handbook brings together the theoretical basics of fluid dynamics with a systemaic overview of the appropriate numerical and computational methods for solving the problems presented in the book. Also, effective codes for a majority of the examples are included.
Book Description
Introduction to Theoretical and Computational Fluid Dynamics is the first textbook to combine theoretical and computational aspects of fluid dynamics in a unified and comprehensive treatment. The theoretical developments are carried into the realm of numerical computation, and the numerical procedures are developed from first principles. This book offers a comprehensive and rigorous introduction to the fundamental principles and equations that govern the kinematics and dynamics of the laminar flow of incompressible Newtonian fluids. It simultaneously illustrates the application of numerical methods to solving a broad range of problems drawn from diverse areas, and discusses the development of pertinent computational algorithms. Topics considered include the description and analysis of flow kinematics; the computation of exact solutions of hydrostatics and hydrodynamics by solving ordinary differential equations; the study and computation of potential flow; the theory and numerical study of flow at low Reynolds numbers, linear hydrodynamic stability, and vortex motion; boundary-integral methods for potential and Stokes flow; and finite-difference methods for the Navier-Stokes equation. An appendix contains a primer of numerical methods that allows for ready reference. A unique synthesis of the theoretical and computational aspects of its field, Introduction to Theoretical and Computational Fluid Dynamics serves as an ideal text and source reference for advanced undergraduate students, graduate students, and researchers in the various fields of science and engineering, including mechanical, aeronautical, and chemical engineering, applied mathematics, physics, and computational science. It assumes no prior experience in computational fluid dynamics, and provides references for specialized topics. Each section is followed by theoretical and computer problems that allow the reader to acquire hands-on experience and simultaneously develop insights into the physics of a variety of flows.

The Perfect Introductory Reference for any Bookshelf!.......1998-09-30
I have used this textbook at the Graduate level in pursuit of my M.Eng in Aerospace Engineering. It was a reference textbook for our "Finite Difference Methods in Computational Fluid Dynamics" course. It was invaluable! It provides a clear, comprehensive review of the Fluid Dynamic Equations including an excellent discussion of their mathematical properties. This is followed by a detailed development of the Finite Difference Method as applied to the computational solution of fluid dynamic problems. Included are discretization techniques, transformations and grids, stability analysis, and boundary layer solutions. Finally, the Finite Element Method is introduced and developed in detail. Although not directly applicable to my course, the FEM discussion layed in the ground work for further study. This book really is the perfect reference for both the undergraduate and graduate level CFD course.
Product Description
The relatively recent increase in computational power available for mathematical modeling and simulation raises the possibility that modern numerical methods can play a significant role in the analysis of complex particulate flows. This introductory monograph focuses on basic models and physically based computational solution strategies for the direct and rapid simulation of flowing particulate media. Its emphasis is primarily on fluidized dry particulate flows in which there is no significant interstitial fluid, although fully coupled fluid-particle systems are discussed as well. An introduction to basic computational methods for ascertaining optical responses of particulate systems also is included. The successful analysis of a wide range of applications requires the simulation of flowing particulate media that simultaneously involves near-field interaction and contact between particles in a thermally sensitive environment. These systems naturally occur in astrophysics and geophysics; powder processing pharmaceutical industries; bio-, micro- and nanotechnologies; and applications arising from the study of spray processes involving aerosols, sputtering, and epitaxy. Audience An Introduction to Modeling and Simulation of Particulate Flows is written for computational scientists, numerical analysts, and applied mathematicians and will be of interest to civil and mechanical engineers and materials scientists. It is also suitable for first-year graduate students in the applied sciences, engineering, and applied mathematics who have an interest in the computational analysis of complex particulate flows. Contents List of Figures; Preface; Chapter 1: Fundamentals; Chapter 2: Modeling of particulate flows; Chapter 3: Iterative solution schemes; Chapter 4: Representative numerical simulations; Chapter 5: Inverse problems/parameter identification; Chapter 6: Extensions to swarm-like systems; Chapter 7: Advanced particulate flow models; Chapter 8: Coupled particle/fluid interaction; Chapter 9: Simple optical scattering methods in particulate media; Chapter 10: Closing remarks; Appendix A.
