Short description In recent years, there have been a number of advances in the development of stable and accurate finite element procedures for approximating numerically a wide range of fluid mechanics problems. Taking an engineering rather than a mathematical approach, the Finite Element Method details the fundamentals of stabilized finite element methods for analyzing steady and time-dependent fluid mechanics problems. Characterized by a simplicity of presentation, the book's topical range reaches the forefront of current research in several areas of computational fluid dynamics.
