In recent decades, numerical algorithms and computer power have advanced to the point where computer simulations of the equations fluid flow have become routine. How does that affect the way we teach fluid dynamics? This book seizes on that question. One of its objectives is to integrate computer so... More

The Summa Theologiae ranks among the greatest documents of the Christian Church, and is a landmark of medieval western thought. It provides the framework for Catholic studies in systematic theology and for a classical Christian philosophy, and is regularly consulted by scholars of all faiths and non... More

Modern advances in computer speed offer the potential for elaborate numerical analysis of turbulent fluid flow. Closure models for turbulence transport equations are finding a growing number of applications and are being used in increasingly complex flows. Furthermore, computerized fluid flow analys... More
