Summary

Because this book is concerned with the numerical solutions to problems of heat transfer and fluid mechanics, it is useful to summarize the governing equations of these two fields, which are closely related. Subject areas as diverse as aerodynamics, biology, combustion, geology and geophysics, manufacturing, and meteorology can be studied using the equations governing heat transfer and fluid mechanics (for detailed discussion of the underlying physics and derivation of the equations
