Computational Fluid Dynamics

This textbook and exercise book is aimed at future users of computational fluid dynamics software. In addition to the comprehensibly presented basics, the focus is on technical examples treated in detail with supplementary practical hints. Comprehension questions including applications give the beginner confidence in fundamental relationships. The original 4th German edition has been adapted to the latest program version ANSYS 18.1.
