Publisher's Synopsis
This text deals with the applications of the finite element method to incompressible flows. Volume One addresses the theoretical background and the methods development to the solution of a wide range of incompressible flows. Volume Two due May 1997) will be practice orientated and will address the simulation of the numerical solutions of the Navier-Stoke equations via the finite element method.;The two volumes can be used as self-teaching tutorials for students at graduate level as they include worked exercises and applications and sample results of computer simulations. They should also appeal to practising engineers working with advection-diffusion incompressible flow and incompressible FEM fluid mechanics.
