Computational Fluid Dynamicsby Finite Element and FiniteVolume Medthods

The textbook Computational Fluid Dynamics by Finite Element and Finite Volume Methods has been translated from its latest Thai edition (4th edition) in response to its growing international recognition among CFD researchers. It is available in both print and e-book formats, published by Chulalongkorn University Press in Bangkok, Thailand. The textbook is organized into four key sections. The first section introduces the fundamentals of fluid flow and provides a detailed derivation of the Navier-Stokes equations. The second section focuses on finite element formulations for four types of fluid flows: (a) inviscid incompressible flow, (b) inviscid compressible flow, (c) viscous incompressible flow, and (d) viscous compressible flow. The third section revisits these four flow types, but by applying the finite volume method. The final section explores the characteristics and importance of turbulent flow, introduces various turbulence models, and discusses numerical simulation techniques. The book includes numerous accessible examples, accompanied by computer programs written in MATLAB, Mathematica, and Fortran. Additionally, it contains a wide range of application problems.
