معرفی کتاب The Finite Element Method in Heat Transfer and Fluid Dynamics
Computational fluid mechanics (CFD) and computational heat transfer (CHT) continue to evolve at a significant pace and have become an ever increasing presence in standard engineering design and analysis practice. The seemingly endless increase in computing power in both single processor and parallel environments has allowed realistic problems of significant complexity and fidelity to be routinely solved and utilized in technological advances. Commercial software has made rapid progress in providing a broad spectrum of analysis capabilities to a variety of industries. Though software is increasingly robust, accurate CFD and CHT simulations still require a knowledgeable user, with a background in both mechanics and numerical methods. The present edition of this book remains focused on providing the information required by an individual who is interested in good numerical methods for the study and understanding of fluid mechanics and heat transfer phenomena. This book remains practical in scope and content with an emphasis on computational procedures that we have found effective on a wide spectrum of applications. Little, if any, material has been deleted from the second edition. New material has been added primarily in the first five chapters and reflects the research thrusts over the last eight years. Chapter 1 contains the general description of the boundary value problems of interest and has been expanded with a section on mathematical preliminaries and a section on low-speed compressible flows. Chapter 2 continues with the introduction of the finite element method and is essentially unchanged. The thermal conduction and radiation problem is discussed in great detail in Chapter 3, and has a new discussion of mode superposition methods and a more detailed account of radiation solution methods. The isothermal, viscous flow problem is the topic of Chapter 4. The section on stabilized methods has been expanded with more discussion of variational multiscale methods (VMM), and a new section on least-squares finite element models (LSFEM) has been added. Chapter 5 extends the finite element method to non-isothermal flows and now includes a section on the formulation of low-speed, compressible flows. Non-Newtonian flow problems, both inelastic and viscoelastic, are included in Chapter 6, which is largely unchanged. Chapter 7 remains focused on the formulations and algorithms for multidisciplinary problems involving fluid mechanics, heat transfer, solid mechanics, and electromagnetics; the last chapter is on parallel computing, including a general discussion of the parallel architecture and the implementation of finite element models. Organization of the text, equation numbering, references, and symbols retain the same style as used in the previous editions. References have been added as needed without the removal of older citations. We believe it is important to retain the historical record. The authors thank the publisher for the opportunity to prepare this third edition. The first author thanks colleagues Drs. Vinu Unnikrishnan and Ginu Unnikrishnan for their help with the scanning of figures from the first two editions and preparing the subject index, and Feifei Cheng for proofreading of the manuscript. The second author again thanks his numerous present and former colleagues at Sandia National Laboratories who continue to present challenging engineering applications in applied and computational mechanics. Specific acknowledgments must go to Drs. Mike Glass, Rick Givler, Charles Hickox, Roy Hogan, Mario Martinez and Phil Sackinger for collaboration and assistance in much of the algorithm development and demonstration simulations cited in this work. Portions of this book are taken from research work performed at Sandia National Laboratories under Contract No. DEAC0494AL85000 awarded by the U.S. Department of Energy and are used with permission. The authors dedicate this book to their wives, Aruna and Laura, who have graciously tolerated the authors preoccupation with the writing of the book.
