Synopsis

Fundamentals of Computational Fluid Dynamics is a modern, practical introduction to CFD built entirely around the finite volume method, the approach used by virtually every major flow solver in industry and research. It develops the subject from first principles to the methods engineers rely on in real work, so you understand not just how to run a simulation but why it gives the answer it does.

Starting from the conservation laws and their discretization, the book builds steadily through diffusion, convection, pressure-velocity coupling, linear solvers, and unsteady flow, then into the physics and modeling of turbulence, boundary conditions and stability, and finally verification, validation, and best practice. Every concept is explained in plain language and supported by step-by-step derivations, so the mathematics always connects back to the physics it represents.

Inside the book:

• The finite volume method developed from core principles to advanced application
• Fluid flow, heat transfer, and turbulence treated within one unified framework
• Full derivations of the governing equations, the FVM discretization, and the SIMPLE and PISO pressure-velocity algorithms
• Convection schemes, mesh quality, linear solvers and multigrid, and transient methods
• Turbulence physics, the closure problem, and the main eddy-viscosity models including k-epsilon, k-omega, and SST, with near-wall treatment and the law of the wall
• Boundary conditions, initialization, and the diagnosis and cure of divergence
• Verification and validation, including Richardson extrapolation and the Grid Convergence Index
• Worked examples in every chapter, plus practice problems with complete, numbered worked solutions
• Clear line diagrams throughout, a full glossary, a list of symbols, and reference tables for units and fluid properties

Written for advanced undergraduates, graduate students, and practicing engineers, this book gives you a solid, lasting foundation in CFD and the judgment to apply it with confidence.
