Computational Fluid Dynamics: Principles, Methods and Applications

The Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) series by Rahul Basu explores the fundamental principles, numerical methods, and engineering applications of computational techniques for analyzing fluid flow, heat transfer, and related transport phenomena. Designed for engineering students, educators, researchers, and practicing professionals, the series bridges theoretical fluid mechanics with computational modeling and practical problem-solving.

The series covers essential topics such as governing equations of fluid motion, conservation of mass, momentum and energy, discretization techniques, finite difference and finite volume methods, numerical solution procedures, turbulence modeling, boundary conditions, convergence, and computational accuracy. Applications extend to heat transfer, aerodynamics, internal and external flows, thermal systems, and other engineering problems involving fluid flow and energy transport.

Through mathematical derivations, worked examples, numerical techniques, computational exercises, and engineering applications, the books help readers develop the skills needed to formulate, solve, and interpret CFD problems. The series also supports the use of computational tools and programming approaches, including Python and MATLAB, wherever appropriate.

Suitable for academic study, independent learning, research, and professional development, the series emphasizes the connection between mathematical modeling, numerical analysis, and engineering practice. It aims to make CFD concepts accessible while providing a foundation for more advanced computational investigations.
