The Finite Element Method for Fluid Dynamics

by O.C. Zienkiewicz, Robert L. Taylor, P. Nithiarasu

The Seventh Edition of this influential and market leading book delivers the most up to date and comprehensive reference on the finite element method (FEM) applied to fluid dynamics systems modeling for engineers, applied mathematicians and computational software professionals. The new edition is a complete reference to the basis of the FEM and to finite element analysis (FEA), covering linear and non-linear fluid flow and interaction problems in the detail required by graduate level engineers, researchers and all professional engineers involved in FEA based engineering analysis. Written by an outstanding team including O.C. Zienkiewicz, widely recognized as one of the most influential developers of the FEM, the book provides the most authoritative reference to the fundamentals of the method, and covers the latest developments and approaches in this dynamic subject. It is supplemented by software and detailed worked examples to reinforce understanding.* Provides a basic treatment for linear problems whose differential equations are second order of self-adjoint and transient type and presents the various possibilities of approximation* Changes to this edition include a significant rearrangement of the presentation toenable a clearer presentation of the development of the finite element method* Four major new chapters covering local conservation, fluid-structure interaction, biofluid dynamics, micro-scale fluid dynamics and molecular dynamics
