"Computational Fluid Dynamics" ed. by Eva Li

This volume is dedicated to computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and demonstrates a kind of modern optimization CFD methods, algorithms and applications, discusses the numerical solution of the Taylor vortex and the lid‐driven cavity problems.

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is used extensively in many industries ranging from aerospace engineering to automobile design.
Nowadays, optimal design of equipment is one of the most practical issues in modem industry. Due to the requirements of deploying time, reliability, and design cost, better approaches than the conventional ones like experimental procedures are required.
Moreover, the rapid development of computing power in recent decades opens a chance for researchers to employ calculation tools in complex configurations.

In addition, this volume performs a study case in which an automated procedure to optimize the flow distribution in a manifold is established.
