This book contains the proceedings of an international conference on Numerical Methods for Fluid Dynamics held at the University of Oxford in April 1995. It provides a summary of recent research on the computational aspects of fluid dynamics. It includes contributions from many distinguished mathematicians and engineers and, as always, the standard of papers is high. The main themes of the book are algorithms and algorithmic needs arising from applications, Navier-Stokes on flexible grids, and environmental computational fluid dynamics. Graduate students of numerical analysis will find the...

Bringing together a decade's worth of research stimulated by Miller's original idea of moving finite elements, this important book discusses the interrelationship between the techniques and the theories regarding the method of characteristics, Hamilton's equations, the Legendre transformation, and grid equidistribution. Throughout, the important issues are cogently highlighted, cutting-edge research developments are detailed, and areas for future research are discussed. Students, teachers, and researchers in applied mathematics, numerical analysis, engineering, and the computational sciences...

This volume brings together leading mathematicians and engineers to review recent advances in mathematical and computational fluid techniques for modelling fluid flows. Four key topics are treated in detail: implicit methods in CFD, mesh generation and error analysis, numerical boundary conditions, and multigrid and alternative methods for hyperbolic systems. This up-to-date survey will appeal to students and researchers alike.
