Computational Gasdynamics
Culbert B. Laney
Cambridge University Press, 1998
Purchase from: Amazon.com
Numerical methods are indispensable tools in the analysis of complex fluid flows, giving rise to the burgeoning field of computational fluid dynamics (CFD). This book focuses on computational techniques for high-speed gas flows, especially gas flows containing shocks and other steep gradients. The book decomposes complicated numerical methods into simple modular parts, showing how each part fits and how each method relates to or differs from others. The text begins with a review of gasdynamics and computational techniques. Next come basic principles of computational gasdynamics. The last two parts cover basic techniques - including the Lax-Friedrichs method, the Lax-Wendroff method, MacCormack's method, and Godunov's methodand advanced techniques, such as TVD, ENO, flux-limited, and flux-corrected methods. Every method is tested on the same carefully constructed set of test problems, which helps to expose similarities and differences under actual performance conditions. Senior- and graduate-level students, especially in aerospace engineering, as well as researchers and practicing engineers, will use this single source to find a wealth of invaluable information on high-speed gas flows.

Courant and Friedrich's classical treatise was first published in 1948 and the basic research for it took place during World War II. However, many aspects make the book just as interesting as a text and a reference today. It treats the dynamics of compressible fluids in mathematical form, and attempts to present a systematic theory of nonlinear wave propagation, particularly in relation to gas dynamics. Written in the form of an advanced textbook, it should appeal to engineers, physicists and mathematicians alike.

Moving Boundaries IV: Computational Modelling of Free and Moving Boundary Problems
R. Van Keer, C.A. Brebbia (Editors)
Computational Mechanics, 1997
Purchase from: Amazon.com
The classification `free boundary problem' or `moving boundary problem' can be applied to a wide variety of problems in the physical sciences, technology and engineering. The feature all these problems have in common is the presence, in the mathematical model, of an initially unknown (free) boundary or a boundary which moves throughout the analysis, the determination of which is an important part of the solution procedure. Practical examples are ingot solidification and scrap melting in metallurgy, free surface flows in hydraulics and fluid mechanics, the cooling and freezing of foodstuffs in the food industry, to name but a few. Although completely different in nature, these problems have several common features regarding their mathematical modeling and computational methods of solution. Only in special cases can problems of this type be solved analytically. Therefore a new scientific discipline of approximate and numerical methods for such problems has evolved. Recent advances in this wide and rapidly growing discipline are reported in this volume.
-- Computational Mechanics
Presents 35 edited papers exploring problems the solution to which requires determining an initially unknown boundary or a boundary that moves throughout the analysis in the mathematical model. They cover solidification and melting, phase changes, free surface flow, porous media flow, fluid flow problems, wave propagation, precipitation and sedimentation, and contact problems. Among the specific topics are thermodynamically consistent phase-field models of solidification processes, the growth of a free dendrite from a supercooled alloy melt, a comparison of two-volume tracking algorithms for bubbly flow simulation, the deformation of viscous drops in flow through sinusoidally constricted capillaries, a numerical solution to the suspension thickening problem, and misorientation and crystal lattice distortions as the source of the driving force for grain boundary movement. Of interest to engineers, applied mathematicians, computer scientists, and others working with numerical methods. No subject index.
