Book Description

Computational techniques have become indispensable tools in solving complex problems in transport phenomena. This book provides a clear, user-oriented introduction to the subject of computational transport phenomena. Each self-contained chapter includes a detailed worked example and a discussion of the problem system equations. Also included are the numerical methods used; computer code for the solution of the problem system equations; discussion of the numerical solution with emphasis on physical interpretation; and, when appropriate, a comparison of the numerical solution with an analytical solution or a discussion of how the numerical solution goes beyond what can be done analytically, especially for nonlinear problems. Intended for students and a broad range of scientists and engineers, the book includes computer code written in transportable Fortran so the reader can produce the numerical solutions and then extend them to other cases.

Customer Reviews

Just in general, i think this book is just soooo coool. I especially enjoyed the fourth order classical runge-kutta method. Professor Schiesser and Cesar knows what they are talking about, NO?

Computational Transport Phenomena has been the single best general work I have found in my research into numerical heat and mass transfer problems. Clearly written, with excellent examples. Also includes well composed FORTRAN code samples.
