Introduction to Computational Fluid Dynamics 1st Edition by Anil W. Date (PDF)

Description

Introduction to Computational Fluid Dynamics 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. Practising engineers will find this particularly useful for reference and for continuing education.

User’s Reviews

Editorial Reviews: Review “Professor Date’s new book titled Introduction to Computational Fluid Dynamics offers a fresh approach to solving fluid flow problems…In summary this book is ideal for new students of the topic and also a good reference book for seasoned practitioners of CFD in academia and industry, alike.”Neelesh A. Patankar, ITTB Newsletter”Examples of applications are given throughout the book and are quite broadly based…There are lots of useful diagrams throughout, as well as fragments of Fortran code illustrating specific points of implementation…In summary, this is a useful introductory text covering a topic where good books are scarce, and is worthy of inclusion on CFD course reading lists.”Stewart Cant, Journal of Fluid Mechanics”The book provides a useful introduction to the topic of computational fluid dynamics with a focus upon convection processes.”J.P. Denier, Theoretical Computational Fluid Dynamics Book Description This book emphasizes understanding CFD through physical principles and examples for graduate students in mechanical, aerospace and chemical engineering. About the Author Professor Anil W. Date obtained his bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering from Bombay University; his master’s degree in thermo-fluids from the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology; and his doctorate in heat transfer from Imperial College of Science and Technology, London. He has been a member of the Thermo-Fluids-Engineering Group of the Mechanical Engineering Department at IIT Bombay since 1973. Over the past thirty years, he has taught courses at both undergraduate and postgraduate level in thermodynamics, energy conversion, heat and mass transfer, and combustion. He has been engaged in research and consulting in thermo-fluids engineering and is an active reviewer of research proposals and papers for various national and international bodies and journals. He has been Editor for India of the Journal of Enhanced Heat Transfer and has contributed research papers to several international journals in the field. He has been a visiting scientist at Cornell University and a visiting professor at the University of Karlsruhe, Germany. He has delivered seminar lectures at universities in Australia, Hong Kong, Sweden, Germany, UK, USA, and India. Professor Date derives great satisfaction from applying thermo-fluid science to rural-technology problems in India and has taught courses in science, technology, and society and in appropriate technology at IIT Bombay. Professor Date is a Fellow of the Indian National Academy of Engineering (FNAE). Read more

⭐El contenido del libro es excelente.

⭐

⭐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.

⭐The book is not bad, but rather old-fashioned in its content and in the way it approaches the material. It gives an introduction into CFD as it was twenty or thirty years ago, when writing a two-dimensional code was considered THE CFD. The book provides very little in terms of helping a practitioner to prepare for work with modern CFD software.

⭐Firstly i would like to thank the author for this book, there are lots of books on computational fluid dynamics but this book has a special approach that differs from other authors. The book covers the finite difference and finite volume method. I wouldn’t advice a beginner in the field to start from this reference due to its high level approach to the subject. The book tries to approach the subject from the application side of things, which would be beneficial for the reader if he was a mechanical engineer. Reading this book requires knowledge on fluid mechanics heat transfer, tensor calculus, vector analysis and linear algebra. The book provides two fortran77 codes in its appendices shown in an organized manner.Chapter 1: Introduction, very well written.Chapter 2: 1D Heat Conduction, very well written with a 1D solid case solved.Chapter 3: 1D Conduction-Convection.,Chapter 4: 2D Boundary Layers,Chapter 5: 2D Convection- Cartesian Grids,Chapter 6: 2D Convection-Complex Domains, very well written chapterChapter 7: Phase Change, short chapter.Chapter 8: Numerical Grid Generation, it’s a short chapter and not enough for an in depth understanding of grid generation, it’s an introduction to an introduction.Chapter 9: Convergence Enhancement, its foucuses on an important issue that will reduce the cost of a simulation.I hope that was helpfull, good luck

⭐a very good book

⭐Awesome just awesome go for it. Very good book . I am loving it. Very clear and precise. Thank you author.
