With contributions from leading experts, this second volume in the series strikes a balance between generic and specific fundamentals and generic and specific applications. After opening with a broad overview of the field of high-performance scientific computing and its role in fluid flow and heat transfer problems, the book goes on to cover such topics as: unstructured meshes; spectralelement method; use of the finite volume method for the numerical solution of radiative heat transfer problems; heat conduction and the use of the boundary element method for both steady and unsteadyproblems; special numerical issues related to solving microscale heat transfer problems; the Monte Carlo Method; flow and heat transfer in porous media; and the thermal management of electronic systemA broad overview is given of the use of high-performance computers in fluid flow and heat transfer problems. The text explains and analyzes the complex methodologies employed in this area of heat transfer.
