Book: Discontinuous Finite Elements in Fluid Dynamics and Heat Transfer (Computational Fluid and Solid Mechanics)
ISBN: 9781852339883
Publisher: Springer
Year: 2006
Over the past several years, significant advances have been made in developing the
discontinuous Galerkin finite element method for applications in fluid flow and
heat transfer. Certain unique features of the method have made it attractive as an
alternative for other popular methods such as finite volume and finite elements in
thermal fluids engineering analyses.
This book is written as an introductory textbook on the discontinuous finite
element method for senior undergraduate and graduate students in the area of
thermal science and fluid dynamics. It also can be used as a reference book for
researchers and engineers who intend to use the method for research in
computational fluid dynamics and heat transfer. A good portion of this book has
been used in a course for computational fluid dynamics and heat transfer for senior
undergraduate and first year graduate students. It also has been used by some
graduate students for self-study of the basics of discontinuous finite elements.
This monograph assumes that readers have a basic understanding of
thermodynamics, fluid mechanics and heat transfer and some background in
numerical analysis. Knowledge of continuous finite elements is not necessary but
will be helpful. The book covers the application of the method for the simulation of
both macroscopic and micro/nanoscale fluid flow and heat transfer phenomena.
Background information on the subjects that are not covered in standard textbooks
is also presented. Examples of different levels of difficulty are given, which help
readers understand the concept and capability of the discontinuous finite element
method and the computational procedures involved in the use of the method.
