High Order Methods and Applications in Computational Mechanics

Sinopse

This booknbsp;provides a comprehensive, self-contained guide tonbsp;solutions of partial differential equations with both finitenbsp;element and finite volume methods. Upon discussing different formulations of finite element methods, it focuses on solution techniques with various formulations,nbsp;including collocation, Galerkin, least squares, and stabilized finite element methods.nbsp;In turn, itnbsp;presents solutionsnbsp;to problemsnbsp;concerningnbsp;heat transfer, coupled heat and mass transfer, andnbsp;structures applications.nbsp;The book also covers problems relating tonbsp;incompressiblenbsp;and compressiblenbsp;flow, magnetic refrigeration,nbsp;and aerodynamics of high-speed reentry vehicles.nbsp;All in all, this book is intended to equip graduate students and researchers with enough implementation details for using finite element and finite volume methods in a variety of applications in both structural mechanics and fluid dynamics.
