Features: This book primarily introduces the commonly used finite difference method and finite volume method in engineering flow computation. The content includes the concepts of the finite difference method, general finite difference formats, the staggered grid and pressure-velocity coupling algorithm of the finite volume method, the mathematical and physical properties of discrete formats, etc. The book also covers the basic generation methods of structured and unstructured grids, as well as the characteristics of hybrid grid and adaptive rectangular grid generation methods. The final chapter takes the two-dimensional flow of viscous fluid around a cylinder as an example to illustrate the process of numerical simulation of flow phenomena. This book emphasizes fundamentals while highlighting applications, making it suitable as a textbook for graduate students and senior undergraduate students in engineering majors studying computational fluid dynamics. Additionally, the book dedicates a section to providing fundamental principles and major turbulence models related to fluid mechanics numerical simulation, serving as a reference for readers using commercial CFD software.
