The purpose and organisation of this book are described in the preface to the first edition
(1988). In preparing this edition minor changes have been made, par ticularly to Chap. 1 …

The conservation-law form of the inviscid gasdynamic equations has the remarkable
property that the nonlinear flux vectors are homogeneous functions of degree one. This …

Acceleration methods are presented for solving the steady state incompressible equations.
These systems are preconditioned by introducing artificial time derivatives which allow for a …

WHEN we attempt to apply compressible computational fluid dynamics (CFD) methods to
very low Mach number flows, as is known, we shall pay particular attention to slow, or …

This paper examines the use of computational fluid dynamics as a tool for aircraft design. It
addresses the requirements for effective industrial use, and trade-offs between modeling …

This paper surveys the evolution of computational methods in aerodynamics. Improvements
in high-speed electronic computers have made it feasible to attempt numerical calculations …

As indicated in Vol. 1, the purpose of this two-volume textbook is to pro vide students of
engineering, science and applied mathematics with the spe cific techniques, and the …

This paper is in response to an invitation to give a presentation on the origins and
subsequent development of the Jameson–Schmidt–Turkel scheme. After a description of the …

THE gradient calculation for the reconstruction of dependent variables is one of the critical
issues for the accuracy and robustness of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) methods …

In this chapter, we give a brief overview of a particular class of preconditioners known as
incomplete factorizations. They can be thought of as approximating the exact LU …
