The book is aimed at graduate students researchers engineers and physicistsinvolved in fluid computations. An uptodate account is given of the presentstate of the art of numerical methods employed in computational fluid dynamics.The underlying numerical principles are treated with a fair amount of detailusing elementary methods. Attention is given to the difficulties arising fromgeometric complexity of the flow domain. Uniform accuracy for singularperturbation problems is studied pointing the way to accurate computation offlows at high Reynolds number. Unified methods for compressible andincompressible flows are discussed. A treatment of the shallowwater equationsis included. A basic introduction is given to efficient iterative solutionmethods. Many pointers are given to the current literature facilitatingfurther study. «
