Good Update From First Edition

This is a very readable and practical book that focuses only on incompressible semi-implicit methods. It is an introduction, it moves at a slower pace and covers less ground than the Ferziger & Peric book, but what it does address is very well explained. I own both the first and second edition. I had reviewed the first edition 10 years ago and was only moderately impressed because it was similar to Patankar's book but published 15 years later. The 2nd edition has added a lot of material which advances the topic quite a bit from the 1st edition.My main complaint about the first edition was that it focused on Cartesian structured grids which is pretty dated. The new version has a chapter on collocation of variables and how to handle the pressure gradient in the continuity correction step. Additionally it explains how to account for convection and diffusion in generalized non-Cartesian coordinates. It would be nice if storage and solution methods were explained for the iterative solver needed for an unstructured mesh but that aside the material presented in this new chapter is very well explained.Another nice touch is explanation of multigrid techniques as an iterative solver. The authors allude to implementing multigrid into the outer iterations but do not drill down on the topic.There is a chapter explaining the introduction for turbulence modeling but it is not complete enough to implement without supplemental sources.This book gives very detailed step by step explanations of many things in the first edition, detailed examples of calculations and results are shown which really illustrate the method and where the pitfalls are. There are less examples for the newer material, but it is still explained carefully. The material is very accessible. One could use this book by itself to write a very basic code based on this method. I could imagine if the authors were to make a third edition where turbulence, multigrid and unstructured solution techniques were addressed with the same depth as some of the other topics that the book could become a real institution.

Good condition of the book, but it took a while to get it

The book was in great condition when I got it but it did take about 3 weeks to get it. I ordered a book from somewhere else, can't remember where at the moment, but I ordered it the same day and it was further across the country and I got it about 2 weeks before I got this book. But other than that the book was in great condition!

The best intro CFD book

I am a computer scientist trying to learn CFD. I checked many books, and this is the best one, at least for me. Very intuitive and detailed explanations.

A new and good book on FBM

Very good. Nearly new book was delivered. I recommed the book who want to know about finite volume method and back ground knowledge on commercial CFD codes.

Useful book

The book is exactly what I expected. Lots of details, can be used to write your own CFD code. Good transaction.

An excellent book for anyone starting into Finite Volume method

An excellent book for anyone starting into Finite Volume method. An noticeable improvement in comparison with the last edition, by including examples that helps the reader to understand how to apply its techniques.

Excellent book

Versteeg & Malalasekera's "An Introduction to CFD: The FVM" has been my first contact to CFD. I really recommend this book as a first approach. It provides easy and enjoyable reading. I still read it and follow its exercises.
