Description for Numerical Methods for Fluid Dynamics
Hardcover. The new title of this major revision of Numerical Methods for Wave Equations in Geophysical Fluid Dynamics conveys its broader scope. Aimed at those studying geophysical fluids, it also helps find numerical solutions to time-dependent differential equations. Series: Texts in Applied Mathematics. Num Pages: 516 pages, 6 black & white tables, biography. BIC Classification: PBKS; PHVG; TGB; TN. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 240 x 163 x 34. Weight in Grams: 922.
This scholarly text provides an introduction to the numerical methods used to model partial differential equations, with focus on atmospheric and oceanic flows. The book covers both the essentials of building a numerical model and the more sophisticated techniques that are now available. Finite difference methods, spectral methods, finite element method, flux-corrected methods and TVC schemes are all discussed. Throughout, the author keeps to a middle ground between the theorem-proof formalism of a mathematical text and the highly empirical approach found in some engineering publications. The book establishes a concrete link between theory and practice using an extensive range of ... Read more

Reviews for Numerical Methods for Fluid Dynamics
From the reviews of the second edition: “This is a largely self-contained and relatively far-reaching presentation of numerical fluid dynamics. It is aimed towards practitioners (meteorologists, physicists, engineers), providing … a presentation of more mathematical depth than is frequently encountered in such books.” (H. Muthsam, Monatshefte für Mathematik, Vol. 166 (1), April, 2012) “Durran’s direct and yet information-rich ... Read more
