Computational Fluid Dynamics: an Overview of Methods by D. James Benton (26 Reviews)    Price verified 9 hours ago

Fluid flow is a very broad and complicated topic because of the many different aspects and types of applications. I have covered inviscid flow, which occurs when the viscosity is negligible or the velocities are very large, in two previous texts: Differential Equations and Numerical Calculus. I may at some point cover creeping flow, which occurs when the viscosity dominates momentum or the velocities are very small. In this text we will cover the range between these two extremes: when viscosity and momentum are both important, at least in some significant part of the flow field. This is by no means an exhaustive reference on the subject of computational fluid dynamics; rather, it is an introduction and overview, going just far enough to get the reader started along this path with some helpful direction based on years of experience. I have striven to make this a clear presentation, particularly of finite elements, avoiding the traditional esoteric derivations that never seem to arrive ...

Contaminant Transport: A Numerical Approach by D. James Benton (2 Reviews)    Price verified 12 hours ago

In previous texts we have covered Computational Fluid Dynamics, Mass Transfer, Plumes, and Particle Tracking. Contaminant Transport is a specific application, involving diffusion, dispersion, and advection. While movement of the transporting media (e.g. groundwater, surface water, or air) is important, this text will not cover those details in depth. The reader should be familiar with fluid flow and how it may be calculated before delving into the current subject mater. We cover passive as well as decaying substances. While this text does cover theory, it is primarily a compilation of examples based on actual remediation projects. Accurate modeling is essential for containment or capture, for we must know where the contaminant is going and when it will get there if we are ever to achieve effective remediation.
