Complex Fluid Dynamics

This book comprehensively explores numerical methods and their applications across diverse fields, strongly focusing on computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and advanced modeling techniques. Whether you’re looking to deepen your understanding of numerical methods, enhance your CFD expertise, or explore innovative applications, this book is a valuable resource for gaining actionable insights and fostering innovation in computational modeling.

Fundamentals and First Principles

The proceedings contain a selection of refereed contributions and are meant to serve as a source of reference for all those interested in the state of the art in computational fluid dynamics.

Spectral methods, particularly in their multidomain version, have become firmly established as a mainstream tool for scientific and engineering computation. While retaining the tight integration between the theoretical and practical aspects of spectral methods that was the hallmark of their 1988 book, Canuto et al. now incorporate the many improvements in the algorithms and the theory of spectral methods that have been made since then.

Following up the seminal Spectral Methods in Fluid Dynamics , Spectral Methods: Evolution to Complex Geometries and Applications to Fluid Dynamics contains an extensive survey of the essential algorithmic and theoretical aspects of spectral methods for complex geometries.
