The Finite Volume Method in Computational Fluid Dynamics: An Advanced Introduction with OpenFOAM® and Matlab Pdf Book Description:

This textbook explores the theoretical base of the Finite Volume Method (FVM) and its programs in Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). Readers will find a comprehensive explanation of this FVM numerics and calculations employed for the simulation of incompressible and compressible liquid flows, together with a comprehensive evaluation of the elements required for the evolution of a collocated unstructured pressure-based CFD solver. Two special CFD codes are researched.

The first is uFVM, a three-dimensional pressure-based restricted volume instructional CFD code, implemented inside Matlab. The next is OpenFOAM®, a open source framework employed in the evolution of a range of CFD applications for the simulation of industrial scale leak issues. With over 220 statistics, a lot of illustrations and over one hundred exercise FVM numerics, programming, and software, this textbook is acceptable for use in an introductory class on the FVM, within an innovative class on numerics, and as a benchmark to CFD developers and programmers.
