This pioneering text provides an excellent introduction to CFD at the senior level in aerospace and mechanical engineering, and to some extent, chemical and civil engineering. It can also serve as a one-semester introductory course at the beginning graduate level, as a useful precursor to a more serious study of CFD in advanced books. It is presented in a very readable, informal, enjoyable style.

Very helpful introduction to CFD. After reading this book, I feel better prepared for another of my grad classes. I read the course description before and after reading this book and now I know what the terms on the course description mean (its a start!).

Even if you're only interested in aircraft or aerodynamics as a hobby, I would recommend reading John Anderson. He writes in a friendly, conversational style and motivates further study.

Great if you are trying to make a fart simulator, a little outdated but is still helpful.
