- Summary:
- At a level comprehensible to graduate students and beginning researchers, describes the state of the art in using numerical methods for analyzing turbulence in fluids, a problem still unsolved after centuries of research. The methods described include wavelet-based, semi-Lagrangian, Langrangian multi-pole, continuous adaptation of curvilinear grids, finite volume, and shock-capturing. Among the applications are industrial flows, aerodynamics, two-phase flows, astrophysical flows, and meteorology. Suitable as a course text for graduate students with a background in fluid mechanics.
