Hi All,
I am a Mechanical Engineer with over 12 yrs of power plant experience.
I am trying to develop CFD skills.
Can somebody recommend the most basic/elementary text book for the course.
I am not talking about the commercial tools and user guide for them. I am talking about the real conceptual CFD as taught in Grad schools.

Thanks in advance
Kamal

Whichever CFD code you're using should have a theoretical manual that goes into the fundamentals and describes a number of benchmark problems (validated by test) used to validate the code. Some codes are FEA-based and some (most) are based on the Finite Difference Method. Of course you could always buy a CFD graduate textbook like "Computational Fluid Mechanics and Heat Transfer" by Dale Anderson, John Tannehill, and Richard Pletcher; Hemisphere Publishing Company ISBN 0-89116-471-5. I'd sell you mine but commercial transactions are prohibited in this forum. Besides, my copy is probably out-dated anyway (1984).
