Features: This book systematically and comprehensively introduces the full scope of CFD—basic theory, computational methods, and their engineering applications. It starts from the fundamentals, guiding readers into this emerging discipline and introducing cutting-edge content in CFD development. Additionally, it selects some aesthetically pleasing CFD computational charts and examples of aerospace aircraft for analysis. The book is divided into two parts: Part I: Basic Knowledge, including Introduction, Flow Control Equations, Theoretical Basis of Finite Difference Methods, Euler Equations, and Hyperbolic Equations; Part II: Computational Methods and Applications, including Godunov Methods and Vector Flux Splitting Methods, Central Difference Formulas, MUSCL Methods, TVD Formats, and ENO Formats, Time Formulations, Applications, Comparisons, and Evaluations of Computational Formulas, A Brief Overview of Mesh Generation, Multi-Region Overlapping Mesh Methods, Turbulence Models, and an Introduction to CFD Program Implementation.. This book can serve as a textbook for senior undergraduate and graduate students in fluid mechanics and aerodynamics, as well as a reference for researchers, engineers, and other professionals in the fields of fluid mechanics, aerodynamics, overall design of aerospace aircraft, and aerodynamic design...
