Description
Birkhauser Implicit Preconditioned Numerical Schemes For The Simulation Of Three-Dimensional Barotropic Flows by Edoardo Sinibaldi
Starting from a specific industrial problem related to the propellant flow within a liquid propellant rocket engine, this book develops a numerical method for simulating three-dimensional, generic barotropic flows in rotating frames. It proposes a novel finite volume compressible approach for unstructured grids, suitably preconditioned for accurately dealing with nearly-incompressible flows.
