Computational Methods for the Investigations of Heat Transfer Phenomena in Aerospace Applications
Abstract
This chapter introduces computational methods, in particular, computational fluid dynamics (CFD), and also gives a brief description of their development. The basic concepts are presented and then the focus is on the so-called finite volume method. At the end of the chapter, examples related to aerospace-specific topics are given. The important topic of shock wave–boundary layer interaction is also discussed.
