About this book :-
"Computational Turbulent Incompressible Flow: Applied Mathematics" by "Johan Hoffman" and "Claes Johnson" is a comprehensive guide to understanding and simulating "turbulent incompressible flow". The book introduces advanced "numerical simulation" techniques to solve the "Navier–Stokes equations" and "Euler equations", providing a bridge between mathematical theory and practical computational applications. It is designed for graduate students, researchers, and engineers interested in "computational fluid dynamics (CFD)".
The authors emphasize the Body & Soul computational approach, using "finite element methods" to model turbulent flows accurately. This method allows readers to compute essential quantities such as lift and drag without relying on ad hoc turbulence models, making simulations more reliable and physically meaningful. The text includes detailed examples, showing how classical fluid mechanics problems and paradoxes can be resolved using modern computational techniques.
In addition to theory, the book focuses on practical applications. Readers learn to simulate flows around objects, analyze turbulence, and predict transition phenomena in incompressible fluids. By combining rigorous mathematics with computational strategies, the book provides a solid foundation for both academic research and industrial applications in "CFD". Overall, it is an essential resource for anyone aiming to understand, model, and simulate "turbulent incompressible flow" with high accuracy.
