The Finite Element Method: Volume 3, Fluid Dynamics

by O.C. Zienkiewicz, R. L. Taylor

Coverage of the whole range of fluid dynamics - including incompressible slow viscous flow, high-speed supersonic flows, shallow water flow, ocean waves, and metal and plastic forming. Up-to-date material on the Characteristic Galerkin Method. New methodologies for dealing with supersonic and hypersonic behaviours. New material on free surface phenomena. ..".the publication of the first edition was an epoch making event...it is written by...the greatest theorist of the subject. If you are serious about finite elements, this is a book that you simply cannot afford to be without." International Journal of Numerical Methods in Engineering. ..".the pre-eminent reference work on finite element analysis." Applied Mechanical Review. ..".a very good book...presentation is first class...will be of great assistance to all engineers and scientists interested in the method...a very commendable piece of work.--"Journal of the British Society for Strain Measurement.
