Computational Fluid Dynamics: 1st

The European Computational Fluid Dynamics Conference and the European Conference on Numerical Methods in Engineering are major large scale events attracting the whole international community engaged in Computational Methods in Applied Sciences. The 146 papers, including many colour illustrations, in this two part volume cover topics such as: Numerical Methods: Finite difference, finite and boundary elements, volume methods; Spectral methods; Convergence acceleration methods: multigrid, pre-conditioning; Domain decomposition, zonal methods; Massively parallel and vector computing on new architectures; Mesh generation and adaptive grid refinement; Visualization techniques; Particle and microscopic simulation methods. Modelizations and Applications: Innovative algorithms for Euler and Navier-Stokes equations; Laminar and turbulent flows; Turbulence and transition modelization; Direct simulation of turbulence; Multiphase and reacting flows; Heat transfer and combustion; Free surface problems; Non-Newtonian fluids; Flow in porous media; Industrial applications for low to high speed internal and external flows. The volumes will prove a useful and dynamic tool for those wishing to increase their knowledge of Computational Methods in Applied Sciences, as well as providing a guide to recent literature in this rapidly expanding area.
