"It is very useful for those who use CFD software and want to get a better understanding of the inner workings of the equations used by software developers and want to create more accurate simulations. ...A very good book indeed, especially for those who use CFD modeling software to develop models for improving engineering designs or for basic scientific studies that need to model turbulance in their simulation." -IEEE Electrical Insulation Magazine

Computational Fluid Dynamics: A Practical Approach, Third Edition, is an introduction to CFD fundamentals and commercial CFD software to solve engineering problems. The book is designed for a wide variety of engineering students new to CFD, and for practicing engineers learning CFD for the first time. Combining an appropriate level of mathematical background, worked examples, computer screen shots, and step-by-step processes, this book walks the reader through modeling and computing, as well as interpreting CFD results. This new edition has been updated throughout, with new content and improved figures, examples and problems.
