ISBN-13: 9781119188292

Design Optimization of Fluid Machinery: Applying Computational Fluid Dynamics and Numerical Optimization is a comprehensive guide that explores the intersection of fluid dynamics, numerical optimization, and design engineering. The book delves into the principles and techniques of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and how it can be used to optimize the design of various fluid machinery, such as pumps, turbines, and compressors.

The authors provide a detailed overview of the fundamentals of CFD, including the governing equations, numerical methods, and turbulence modeling. They then discuss how CFD can be integrated with numerical optimization techniques to improve the performance and efficiency of fluid machinery. The book covers a range of optimization algorithms, such as genetic algorithms, particle swarm optimization, and gradient-based methods, and demonstrates how these can be applied to real-world engineering problems.

Throughout the book, the authors provide numerous case studies and examples to illustrate the application of CFD and optimization techniques in the design of fluid machinery. This book is essential reading for engineers, researchers, and students interested in the optimization of fluid machinery using advanced computational tools.

This edition retains the full content with the added advantage of portability, allowing readers to easily access and engage with the material from any device, whether in a classroom or during fieldwork.
