boundaries etc. These examples also demonstrate the method of estimating
discretization errors, checking and improving of grid quality, error-guided
local mesh refinement etc. Suggestions are also given for parameter variation, further testing, and other suitable test cases that can be used both to
learn fluid dynamics and to demonstrate the use of CFD-tools for solving
problems in engineering practice. A quick guide is also given for setting-up
grids and parameters for flow computations in simple geometry without the
need to read all of the documentation. We believe that this CFD-package
will be especially useful t o those who teach a CFD-course, since they will
be able to present applications of CFD on-line without lengthy preparations.
A set of postscript-files with lecture transparences that the authors used in
their courses and also some presentation files for Powerpoint and Staroffice
programs are included for this purpose.
There is also a directory that contains color plots of different quantities
from various flow predictions, as well as mpeg-animations showing simulations of unsteady flows. These materials, which could not be printed in the
book are a useful supplement to a course on CFD. We hope that the readers
will share our view.
Finally, the directory contains a file named errata; in it, errors which
might be found will be documented (we hope that this file will be very small,
if not empty). Postscript files of modified pages compared to previous editions
of this book are also included in a separate directory; this will enable buyers
of the older editions to obtain free updates.
