Environmental applications of CFD have identified new research agendas not anticipated by engineering studies and raised fundamental questions regarding how such codes should be applied to complex, uncertain systems. Computational Fluid Dynamics: Applications in Environmental Hydraulics provides an accessible introduction to the theory underlying CFD codes.
Part one addresses the basic topics in CFD modelling in a thematic manner providing the necessary theoretical background. Part two includes global case studies showing how CFD models can be used in practice with reference to both new and established applications.
This is essential reading for researchers and professionals in fluvial geomorphology, environmental modelling and water resources. It is a useful reference for 2nd and 3rd year undergraduates and postgraduates of fluvial geomorphology, environmental modelling and computational fluid dynamics in Departments of Geography and Civil Engineering.
