Computational transport phenomena : numerical methods for the solution of transport problems

This book provides a clear, user-oriented introduction to the subject of computational transport phenomena. Each self-contained chapter is devoted to a different topic related to momentum, heat, or mass transport. Every chapter contains a detailed worked example and a discussion of the problem system equations. Chapters also include an introduction to the numerical methods used to analyze the problem system, a computer code for the solution of the problem system equations, and a discussion of the numerical solution with an emphasis on physical interpretation and the analysis of errors. When appropriate, a comparison of the numerical solution with an analytical solution is provided or a discussion of how the numerical solution goes beyond what can be done analytically, especially for nonlinear problems. Intended for students and a broad range of scientists and engineers, the book includes computer code written in transportable Fortran so that readers can reproduce the numerical solutions and then extend them to other cases.
