Advances in Numerical Heat Transfer Volume 1
W.J. Minkowycz, E.M. Sparrow (Editors)
Taylor & Francis, 1996
Purchase from: Amazon.com

The perfection of numerical modalities is an ongoing process. New results of both fundamental and applied importance are disseminated by technical journals which focus on topics in numerical heat transfer and fluid flow. To be truly useful to both present and future workers in the field, this prodigious outpouring of new information needs to be brought together and put into a more global perspective. That need provides the motivation for the establishment of this new serial publication, Advances in Numerical Heat Transfer. With contributions from the leading experts, this first volume in the series presents in-depth perspectives on several fundamental methodology issues in numerical heat transfer and fluid flow and identifies certain currently areas of active application. Among the fundamental issues, many facets of the finite-volume approach are presented both in conjunction with finite-element methods and the more common energy balance analysis. In the applications arena, the latest developments in turbulence modeling are presented, and current approaches to inverse problems and to phase change problems are conveyed.

Finite Difference Methods in Heat Transfer
M. Necati Ozisik
CRC Press, 1994
Purchase from: Amazon.com

Finite Difference Methods in Heat Transfer presents a clear, step-by-step delineation of finite difference methods for solving engineering problems governed by ordinary and partial differential equations, with emphasis on heat transfer applications. The finite difference techniques presented apply to the numerical solution of problems governed by similar differential equations encountered in many other fields. Fundamental concepts are introduced in an easy-to-follow manner . Representative examples illustrate the application of a variety of powerful and widely used finite difference techniques. The physical situations considered include the steady state and transient heat conduction, phase-change involving melting and solidification, steady and transient forced convection inside ducts, free convection over a flat plate, hyperbolic heat conduction, nonlinear diffusion, numerical grid generation techniques, and hybrid numerical-analytic solutions.
