Computational Fluid Dynamics for Engineers
Author: Tuncer Cebeci
Publisher: Horizons Pub
ISBN: 9780976654506
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 396
Book Description
This book introduces a wide range of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) methods used in the aerospace industry to solve engineering problems. Its format is arranged so that students and practicing engineers can understand the fundamental principles used in CFD, with sample computer programs for the solution of model problems. It begins with the conservation equations of fluid mechanics, including those relevant to turbulence models and continues with descriptions of numerical methods for the solution of parabolic, elliptic and hyperbolic forms. The methods are then applied in detail to solve equations for inviscid incompressible flows, boundary-layer flows, stability and transition calculations, inviscid compressible flows, and incompressible viscous flows and compressible viscous flows. A chapter is devoted to grid generation techniques for structured and unstructured grid methods, which are an integral part of modern CFD methods. The emphasis is on two-dimensional equations in order to present the material in a modest sized book. Source codes for selected problems are given in Appendices A and B to allow the reader to understand how these methods are implemented in FORTRAN and C languages, while exercises provide more hands-on experience.

Computational Fluid Dynamics for Engineers and Scientists
Author: Sreenivas Jayanti
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 9402412174
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 411
Book Description
This book offers a practical, application-oriented introduction to computational fluid dynamics (CFD), with a focus on the concepts and principles encountered when using CFD in industry. Presuming no more knowledge than college-level understanding of the core subjects, the book puts together all the necessary topics to give the reader a comprehensive introduction to CFD. It includes discussion of the derivation of equations, grid generation and solution algorithms for compressible, incompressible and hypersonic flows. The final two chapters of the book are intended for the more advanced user. In the penultimate chapter, the special difficulties that arise while solving practical problems are addressed. Distinction is made between complications arising out of geometrical complexity and those arising out of the complexity of the physics (and chemistry) of the problem. The last chapter contains a brief discussion of what can be considered as the Holy Grail of CFD, namely, finding the optimal design of a fluid flow component. A number of problems are given at the end of each chapter to reinforce the concepts and ideas discussed in that chapter. CFD has come of age and is widely used in industry as well as in academia as an analytical tool to investigate a wide range of fluid flow problems. This book is written for two groups: for those students who are encountering CFD for the first time in the form of a taught lecture course, and for those practising engineers and scientists who are already using CFD as an analysis tool in their professions but would like to deepen and broaden their understanding of the subject.

Languages : en
Pages : 94
Book Description
An investigation to determine the static longitudinal and lateral stability characteristics of a 1/62-scale model of the X-1E has been conducted in the Langley 9-inch supersonic tunnel. Tests were made at Mach numbers of 1.62, 1.94, 2.22, 2.40, and 2.62 on the wing-body, wing-body-vertical-tail, and complete model configurations. Detailed analysis of the test results has not been made.

Modeling and Computation of Boundary-Layer Flows
Author: Tuncer Cebeci
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 9783540807315
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 502
Book Description
This second edition of the book, Modeling and Computation of Boundary-Layer Flows^ extends the topic to include compressible flows. This implies the inclusion of the energy equation and non-constant fluid properties in the continuity and momentum equations. The necessary additions are included in new chapters, leaving the first nine chapters to serve as an introduction to incompressible flows and, therefore, as a platform for the extension. This part of the book can be used for a one semester course as described below. Improvements to the incompressible flows portion of the book include the removal of listings of computer programs and their description, and their incor poration in two CD-ROMs. A listing of the topics incorporated in the CD-ROM is provided before the index. In Chapter 7 there is a more extended discussion of initial conditions for three-dimensional flows, application of the characteristic box to a model problem and discussion of flow separation in three-dimensional laminar flows. There are also changes to Chapter 8, which now includes new sections on Tollmien-Schlichting and cross-flow instabilities and on the predic tion of transition with parabolised stability equations, and Chapter 9 provides a description of the rational behind interactive boundary-layer procedures.
