Review
'... a well presented, readable text that illustrates some of the recent advances in these powerful methods for simulating incompressible flows.' D. M. Sloan, Proceedings of the Edinburgh Mathematical Society
'... more than just a good introduction to numerical analysis of vortex methods in fluid mechanics; it will serve as a source of reference for research scientists.' P. Takác, ZAMM
'... demonstrates important recent advances in vortex methods, and will be an invaluable reference book.' F. Kaplanski, Zbl. MATH
Book Description
Vortex methods have matured in recent years, offering an interesting alternative to finite difference and spectral methods for high resolution numerical solutions of the Navier Stokes equations. In the past three decades, research into the numerical analysis aspects of vortex methods has provided a solid mathematical background for understanding the accuracy and stability of the method. At the same time vortex methods retain their appealing physical character, which was the motivation for their introduction. This book presents and analyzes vortex methods as a tool for the direct numerical simulation of impressible viscous flows. It will interest graduate students and researchers in numerical analysis and fluid mechanics and also serve as an ideal textbook for courses in fluid dynamics.
