Considering the fast-paced development of computer hardware, we have included discussions on the increasing utilization of the graphical processing unit (GPU) in CFD. Also included in this edition are discussions on the use of hybrid CPU-GPU systems with the purpose of exploiting all available processing power andCPU memory resourcesfor CFD calculations.

Jiyuan Tu Guan-Heng Yeoh Chaoqun Liu xiii Preface for First Edition Computational fluid dynamics (CFD), once the domain of academics, post- doctoral researchers, or trained specialists, is now progressively becoming more accessible to graduate engineers for research and development as well as design-oriented tasks in industry. Mastery of CFD in handling complex flowandheatindustrialproblemsisbecomingevermoreimportant.Compe- tencyinsuchaskillcertainlybringsaboutasteeplearningcurveforpracticing engineers,whoconstantlyfaceextremechallengestocomeupwithsolutions to fluid flow and heat-transfer problems without a priori knowledge of the basic concepts and fundamental understanding of fluid mechanics and heat transfer. Today’sengineersarealmostcertainlygearedmoretowardstheuseofcom- mercial CFD codes, such as ANSYS CFX, ANSYS FLUENT or STAR-CD. Withoutproperguidance,theuseofthesesoftwarepackagesposesriskslikened to placing potent weaponry in the hands of poorly trained soldiers. There is everypossibilityofuserswithinadequatetrainingcausingmoreharmthangood throughflawedinterpretationsofresultsproducedthroughsuchpackages.This makesitevermoreimportantthatasoundknowledgeandapplicationinCFDis acquired. Furthermore, changing workplace environment has imposed con- straintsonusersindiscerningthepitfallsofCFDbyosmosisandthroughfre- quent failures. The number of users who have had the luxury of being fully equipped and who were conscientious of the limitations of CFD from their own experiences isfast dwindling. ThepurposeofthisbookistoofferCFDuserswithasuitabletextpitchesat the rightlevel of assumed knowledge. CFD is a mathematically sophisticated discipline, and the authors’ aim of this book has been to provide simple-to- understand descriptions of fundamental CFD theories, basic CFD techniques, andpracticalguidelines.Ithasneverbeenouraimtooverwhelmthereaderwith excessive mathematical and theoretical illustrations of computational tech- niques.Everyefforthasbeenmadetodiscussthematerialinastyletocapture thereader’sattention.Thedominantfeatureofthepresentbookistomaintain practicalityinunderstandingCFD.InourlecturingexperienceonCFD,wehave identified what it takes to present elementary concepts to initiate the student. This book incorporates specially designed intuitive and systematic worked- outCFDexamplestoenhancethelearningprocessandalsoprovidesstudents withexamplesforpracticetobettercomprehendthebasicprinciples.Itishoped xv xvi PrefaceforFirstEdition that this approach will accomplish the purpose of offering beginners who are morefocused onthe engineering practiceof CFDtechniques. Thebasicstructure ofthisbook isas follows: ***Chapter1presentsanintroductiontocomputationalfluiddynamicsand isspecificallydesignedtoprovidethereaderwithanoverviewofCFDandits entailed advantages, the range of applications as a research tool on various facets ofindustrial problems, and the future use ofCFD. Chapter2aimstocultivateasenseofcuriosityforthefirst-timeuseronhow aCFDproblemiscurrentlyhandledandsolved.Thereaderwillbenefitthrough theguidanceofthesebasicprocessesusinganycommercial,shareware,andin- houseCFDcodes.Moreimportantly,itservesasaguidepostforthereaderto other chapters relating to the fundamental knowledge of CFD. Chapter 2 is a unique design compared with many traditional CFD presentations. The basic thoughts and philosophy associated with CFD, along with an extensive discussion of the governing equations of fluid dynamics and heat transfer,aretreatedinChapter3.Itisvitallyimportantthatthereadercanfully appreciate,understand,andfeelcomfortablewiththebasicphysicalequations andunderlyingprinciplesofthisdiscipline,astheyareitslifeblood.Byworking throughtheworked-outexamples,thereaderwillhaveabetterunderstandingof the equationsgoverning the conservationof mass, momentum, andenergy. Computational solutions are obtained through two stages. The first stage deals with numerical discretization, which is examined in Chapter 4. Here, the basic numerics are illustrated with popular discretization techniques such as the finite-difference and finite-volume methods (adopted in the majority ofcommercialcodes)forsolvingflowproblems.Thesecondstagedealswith thespecifictechniquestosolvealgebraicequations.Thepressure–velocitycou- plingscheme(SIMPLEanditsderivatives)inthischapterformstheinforma- tion core of the book. This scheme invariably constitutes the basis of most commercialCFDcodesthroughwhichsimulationsofcomplexindustrialprob- lems have been successfully made. Thenumericalconceptsofstability,convergence,consistency,andaccuracy arediscussedinChapter5.Asanunderstandingofthefundamentalequationsof fluidflowandheattransferistheessenceofCFD,itfollowsthattheunderstand- ingofthetechniquesofachievingaCFDsolutionistheresultantsubstantive. This chapterwill enable the reader tobetter assess the results produced when different numerical methodologies are applied. TheauthorshaveincludedturbulencemodellinginCFD,asubjectnotordi- narilytreatedinabookofthisnature,butaftercarefulconsiderations,wehave feltitimperativetoincludeitsincereal-worldapplicationsofCFDareturbu- lent in nature after all. In Chapter 6, the authors have therefore devised some practical guidelines for the readertobetter comprehend turbulence modelling andothermodelscommonlyapplied.Theauthorshavealsocarefullydesigned worked-outexamplesthatwillassiststudentsintheunderstandingofthecom- plex modelling concept. PrefaceforFirstEdition xvii An increasing number of books and journals covering different aspects of CFDinmathematicallyabstrusetermsarereadilyavailablemainlyforspecial- ists associated with industry. It follows that it is more helpful to include in Chapter7illustrationsofthepowerofCFDthroughasetofindustriallyrelevant applications on a significant range of engineering disciplines. Special efforts havebeenmadeinthischaptertostimulatetheinquisitivemindsofthereader throughexposition ofsomepioneeringapplications. AlthoughthedetailedtreatmentofadvancedCFDtechniquesisusuallyout- sidethescopeofabookofthisnature,wehaveofferedageneralintroductionto the basic concepts in Chapter 8, hoping inthe process, toreap the benefits of whetting the appetite of readers for more to come in the evolutionary use of CFD in anynew emerging areas ofscience andengineering.
