Opis

With the dramatic advancement of computer technology, engineering students can obtain a firm understanding of complex transport phenomena analysis, which they will certainly encounter as professionals. Bringing together a wealth of professional and instructional experience, this graduate-level curriculum focuses on the current concepts of fluid mechanics, turbulent flow, multicomponent and multiphase flow, rather than empiricism and idealized flows. It stresses a problem-solving approach that incorporates a reliance on the Computational Transport Phenomena code (CTP). The text presents one code in-depth so that students are able to better understand the strengths and limitations of the technique, which they will frequently use in their profession.
