Description
Book SynopsisNew chapters devoted to unsteady RANS and to how LES and RANS strategies can be effectively combined ensure this remains the standard work for CFD users in industry and academia, and for graduate students in physics, applied mathematics and engineering entering the world of turbulent-flow CFD at the advanced level.
Trade ReviewReview of previous edition: 'The authors have been top researchers in the field for over 40 years, and have collaborated many times, so their writing is seamless. Their passion, maturity, clarity, lucidity, and intellectual honesty are impressive in a field which has had its fair share of wild claims or simply near-delusions. This is a permanent, detailed, authoritative and inspiring reference in a field of engineering science which will be very challenging, active and important for years to come.' Philippe Spalart, SIAM Review
