Computational Fluid Dynamics: Principles and Applications
The objective of this extended and updated 3rd edition is to provide university students with a solid foundation for understanding the numerical methods employed in today's CFD and to familiarize them with modern CFD codes by hands-on experience. It is also intended for engineers and scientists starting to work in the field of numerical flow simulation, as well as for those who develop or who apply CFD codes. Due to the detailed index, the text is well suited as a reference handbook too. Each chapter includes an extensive bibliography, which provides an excellent basis for further studies.
A companion website of Elsevier Science contains the sources of 1-D and 2-D Euler and Navier-Stokes flow solvers (structured and unstructured), as well as of basic grid generation programs. Further included are tools for Von Neumann stability analysis of 1-D model equations and examples of various parallelization techniques. The programs are written in Fortran90 and in C++ and are well documented. Although being kept reasonably simple, the 2-D flow solvers are capable of treating a large variety of flow problems, ranging from nearly incompressible to hypersonic flows and from airfoils over cascades to solid rocket engines. Several examples can be seen here.

Example Results of the 2-D Flow Solvers
1. Subsonic flow past RG 15A-1.8/11.0 airfoil
The nearly incompressible flow (Mach=0.01, α=2°) was simulated on a structured grid (C-type) with 257x48 cells using the central, as well as Roe's upwind scheme. The pictures show a part of the grid, contours of the total velocity, and a comparison of the pressure coefficients.

2. Transonic flow past NACA 0012 airfoil
The transonic flow (Mach=0.8, α=1.2°) was simulated on a structured grid (C-type) with 192x32 cells using both the central scheme and Roe's upwind scheme. The pictures show a part of the grid, contours of the Mach number, and a comparison of Mach-number distributions.
