Description
The Finite Element Method for Fluid Dynamics, Eight Edition offers a complete introduction on the application of the finite element method to fluid mechanics. The book begins with a useful summary of all relevant partial differential equations before moving on to discuss convection stabilization procedures, steady and transient state equations, and numerical solution of fluid dynamic equations. This expanded eighth edition starts by explaining the character-based split (CBS) scheme before exploring a range of other methods including SUPG/PSPG, space-time, and VMS methods. There are also new chapters on topics such as: Data-driven computational fluid dynamics, Buoyancy Driven Flows. and High-order Methods. Focusing on the core knowledge, mathematical and analytical tools needed for successful computational fluid dynamics (CFD), this book is the authoritative introduction of choice for graduate level students, researchers, and professional engineers.
About the Author
O. C. Zienkiewicz was one of the early pioneers of the finite element method and is internationally recognized as a leading figure in its development and wide-ranging application. He was awarded numerous honorary degrees, medals and awards over his career, including the Royal Medal of the Royal Society and Commander of the British Empire (CBE). He was a founding author of The Finite Element Method books and developed them through six editions over 40 years up to his death in 2009. Previous positions held by O.C. Zienkiewicz include UNESCO Professor of Numerical Methods in Engineering at the International Centre for Numerical Methods in Engineering, Barcelona, Director of the Institute for Numerical Methods in Engineering at the University of Wales, Swansea, U.K. R.L Taylor is Professor of the Graduate School at the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, University of California at Berkeley, USA. Awarded the Daniel C. Drucker Medal by the American Society of Mechanical Engineering in 2005, the Gauss-Newton Award and Congress Medal by the International Association for Computational Mechanics in 2002, and the Von Neumann Medal by the US Association for Computational Mechanics in 1999. Professor Nithiarasu is Director of Research and Deputy Head of the College of Engineering of Swansea University, and also holds a position as Dean of Academic Leadership (Research Impact). Previously, PN served as the Head of Zienkewicz Centre for Computational Engineering for 5 years. He was awarded the Zienkiewicz silver medal from the ICE London in 2002, the ECCOMAS Young Investigator award in 2004 and the prestigious EPSRC Advanced Fellowship in 2006.
