Computational Methods in Aeronautical Fluid Dynamics (Institute of Mathematics and Its Applications Conference Series New Series)

This extensive volume provides a comprehensive overview of the state-of-the-art in computational fluid dynamics as conducted by the aerospace research community. Coverage includes integral methods, boundary layer and viscous flows, turbulence modelling, vortex dynamics, Navier-Stokes for external aerodynamics, mesh generation and adaptive refinement, and hypersonic flow. The book emphasizes real problems in aerodynamics and the numerical methods used in their solution, a particular strength of aerospace researchers who have long used numerical modelling and testing as a vital engineering tool. The work will be a welcome addition to the libraries of computational fluid dynamics researchers, who will find it a valuable source of information on current research results as well as an indication of future challenges.Stow, P. is the author of 'Computational Methods in Aeronautical Fluid Dynamics (Institute of Mathematics and Its Applications Conference Series New Series)', published 1990 under ISBN 9780198536215 and ISBN 0198536216.
