Essentials of Computational Fluid Dynamics

Approaching the material from the viewpoint of a user of a commercial flow package, this book initially limits the description of the mathematics to the level that is strictly needed to make the correct choices when setting up a case in a commercial flow solver. It discusses the sources of errors in FD solutions using simple examples with finite differences, and they are demonstrated with mesh convergence studies. It focuses on the understanding of how the flow physics interact with a typical finite-volume discretization.
