The Finite Volume Method in Computational Fluid Dynamics: An Advanced Introduction with OpenFOAM and MATLAB

The Finite Volume Method in Computational Fluid Dynamics explores both the theoretical foundation of the Finite Volume Method (FVM) and its applications in Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). Readers discover a thorough explanation of the FVM numerics and algorithms used for the simulation of incompressible and compressible fluid flows, along with a detailed examination of the components needed for the development of a collocated unstructured pressure-based CFD solver. With over 220 figures, numerous examples, and more than 100 exercises on FVM numerics, programming, and applications, this textbook is suitable for use in an introductory course on the FVM, in an advanced course on numerics, and as a reference for CFD programmers and researchers.

The book uses MATLAB code that embeds much of the numerics presented in the book.
