Computational Methods In Aeronautical Fluid Dynamics (the Institute Of Mathematics And Its Applications Conference Series, New Series)

This extensive volume provides a comprehensive overview of the state-of-the-art in computational fluid dynamics as conducted by the aerospace research community. Coverage includes integral methods, boundary layer and viscous flows, turbulence modelling, vortex dynamics, Navier-Stokes for external aerodynamics, mesh generation and adaptive refinement, and hypersonic flow. The book emphasizes real problems in aerodynamics and the numerical methods used in their solution, a particular strength of aerospace researchers who have long used numerical modelling and testing as a vital engineering tool. The work will be a welcome addition to the libraries of computational fluid dynamics researchers, who will find it a valuable source of information on current research results as well as an indication of future challenges.
