"This book offers a compact primer on advanced numerical flux functions in computational fluid dynamics (CFD). It comprehensively introduces readers to methods used at the forefront of compressible flow simulation research. Further, it provides a comparative evaluation of the me…
In gas turbines, the ingress of hot annulus gas into cavities between stator and rotor discs is an important topic to engine designers. Rim seals are fitted at the periphery of these cavities to reduce the pressurised purge required to protect vulnerable, highly-stressed engine …
The adjoint method in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) made shape optimisation affordable. However, the typical cost of the process is still at least an order of magnitude higher than obtaining a ow solution only. In this work, the author presents methods that help to further …
The accurate description of the turbulence chemistry interactions that can determine chemical conversion rates and flame stability in turbulent combustion modelling is a challenging research area. This thesis presents the development and implementation of a model for the treatme…
Stroke is one of the leading causes of death in the world, resulting mostly from the sudden rupture of atherosclerotic plaques. From a biomechanical view, plaque rupture can be considered as a mechanical failure caused by extremely high plaque stress. In this PhD project, we are…
The book presents novel Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) techniques to compute offshore wind and tidal applications. The papers in this volume are based on a mini-symposium held at ECCOMAS 2018. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) techniques are regarded as the main design tool…
In its 4th edition, this classic textbook offers an overview of the techniques used to solve problems in fluid mechanics on computers and describes in detail those most often used in practice. Included are advanced methods in computational fluid dynamics, like direct and large-e…
Fluid mechanics is a branch of classical physics that has a rich tradition in applied mathematics and numerical methods. It is at work virtually everywhere, from nature to technology. This broad and fundamental coverage of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) begins with a present…
