Customer Reviews

If only all text books were like this...
First things first - this book is on the Finite Volume Method - amazon do not make this very clear (read the book cover picture).

Dry and heavy going this book is NOT. Over simplistic - no. This book takes you into the heavily mathematical and theoretical world of CFD and makes it seem like a walk in the park. The book is a mass of graphs, tables, flow diagrams and figures. The theoretical principles are clearly elucidated - they even have the unprecidented nerve to write verbal equations below the maths to clearly identify the significance of each element!

Seriously, I am delighted with this book. In ten years of blood sweat and tears, this is the first text in the field that I have read that makes the whole subject readable. I am no stranger to the production of course material being a lecturer by profession and this is excellent. The authors must have laboured long and hard to get the material to this level and I congratulate them... if only all text books were like this one.

The book of choice on finite volumes
An excellent text!
Of the many books my PhD students can access, this is the book they use and recommend on Finite Volumes.
