Numerical Topics in Fluid Dynamics Computation!!! Peter Bastian Authored - This PDF covers advanced numerical computation topics but puts more emphasis on the solution of computational fluid dynamics. The book starts with the modeling of immiscible fluid flow in a composite porous medium, thus laying down the basics for the equations of multiphase fluid flow. It then provides fully implicit methods that have been used to find the finite volume discretization of systems for complex algebraic equations. Two important chapters are the parallelization methods that result in higher productivity of computation and the UG framework used for carrying out grid computations. Numerical results are then presented, which allow deriving some conclusions concerning practical applications and performance. The document will be particularly useful to researchers and engineers studying computational fluid dynamics and related numerical modeling problems.
