Overview

"In the second edition of this textbook, a full chapter on the ""finite volume method"" a technique that combines the benefits of finite differences and finite elements - has been added. Specifically, it is applicable to three-dimensional unsteady flows in complex geometries. It uses structured collocated grids, the grids themselves can be orthogonal or non-orthogonal. Extension of the finite volume technique to compressible fluids as well as turbulent flows is possible."
