This textbook explores both the theoretical foundation of the Finite
Volume Method (FVM) and its applications in Computational Fluid Dynamics
(CFD). Readers will discover a thorough explanation of the FVM numerics
and algorithms used for the simulation of incompressible and
compressible fluid flows, along with a detailed examination of the
components needed for the development of a collocated unstructured
pressure-based CFD solver. Two particular CFD codes are explored. The
first is uFVM, a three-dimensional unstructured pressure-based finite
volume academic CFD code, implemented within Matlab. The second is
OpenFOAM®, an open source framework used in the development of a range
of CFD programs for the simulation of industrial scale flow problems. With
over 220 figures, numerous examples and more than one hundred exercise
on FVM numerics, programming, and applications, this textbook is
suitable for use in an introductory course on the FVM, in an advanced
course on numerics, and as a reference for CFD programmers and
researchers.
