The  book is limited to explaining and employing the finite difference  method. It furnishes a large number of source codes which permit to  play with the Navier-Stokes equations and to understand the  complex physics related to fluid mechanics. \u003cbr\u003e  Numerical simulations are useful tools to understand the complexity of  the flows, which often is difficult to derive from laboratory  experiments. This book, then, can be very useful to scholars doing  laboratory experiments, since they often do not have extra time to  study the large variety of numerical methods; furthermore they cannot  spend more time in transferring one of the methods into a computer  language. By means of numerical simulations, for example, insights  into the vorticity field can be obtained which are difficult to obtain  by measurements. \u003cbr\u003e  This book can be used by graduate as well as undergraduate students  while reading books on theoretical fluid mechanics; it teaches how to  simulate the dynamics of flow fields on personal computers. This will  provide a better way of understanding the theory. Two chapters on  Large Eddy Simulations have been included, since this is a methodology  that in the near future will allow more universal turbulence models  for practical applications. The direct simulation of the  Navier-Stokes equations (DNS) is simple by finite-differences,  that are satisfactory to reproduce the dynamics of turbulent flows. A  large part of the book is devoted to the study of homogeneous and wall  turbulent flows. \u003cbr\u003e  In the second chapter the elementary concept of finite difference is  given to solve parabolic and elliptical partial differential  equations. In successive chapters the 1D, 2D, and 3D  Navier-Stokes equations are solved in Cartesian and cylindrical  coordinates. Finally, Large Eddy Simulations are performed to check  the importance of the subgridscale models. Results for turbulent and  laminar flows are discussed, with particular emphasis on vortex  dynamics. \u003cbr\u003e  This volume will be of interest to graduate students and researchers  wanting to compare experiments and numerical simulations, and to  workers in the mechanical and aeronautic industries.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2001-11-30\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781402003899\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-011-4281-6\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 297cm x210cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 356\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46311945109644,"sku":"9781402003899","price":107.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781402003899.jpg?v=1771514985","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781402003899","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
