SummaryAs Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and Computational Heat Transfer (CHT) evolve and become increasingly important in standard engineering design and analysis practice, users require a solid understanding of mechanics and numerical methods to make optimal use of available software. The Finite Element Method in Heat Transfer and Fluid Dynamics, Third Edition illustrates what a user must know to ensure the optimal application of computational procedures—particularly the Finite Element Method (FEM)—to important problems associated with heat conduction, incompressible viscous flows, and convection heat transfer.This book follows the tradition of the bestselling previous editions, noted for their concise explanation and powerful presentation of useful methodology tailored for use in simulating CFD and CHT. Author(s) BioJ.N.

Charge Simulation Method

Gartling is presently a member of several professional societies, serves on the editorial boards o several journals, and is the Co-Editor of International Journal for Numerical Methods I Fluids. Reviews'This third edition is an updated and extended version of a bestselling monograph, written by two well-known authors, about numerical simulation of the two disciplines heat transfer and fluid dynamics, closely couple in many engineering and scientific applications, by the finite element method. The text is based on graduate lectures and extended courses for a wide spectrum of engineering students and on own practical experiences. Also professionals in modeling of heat transfer, incompressible viscous flow, and heat convection and corresponding codes can profit from the book.' –– Georg Hebermehl, Zentralblatt MATH.
