The field of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) has matured since the au- thor was first introduced to electronic computation in the mid-sixties. The progress of numerical methods has paralleled that of computer technology and software. Simulations are used routinely in all branches of engineering as a very powerful means for understanding complex systems and, ultimately, improve their design for better efficiency. Today's engineers must be capable of using the large simulation codes available in industry, and apply them to their specific problem by implemen- ting new boundary conditions or modifying existing ones. The objective of this book is to give the reader the basis for understanding the way numerical schemes achieve accurate and stable simulations of phy- sical phenomena, governed by equations that are related, yet simpler, than the equations they need to solve. The model problems presented here are linear, in most cases, and represent the propagation of waves in a medium, the diffusion of heat in a slab, and the equilibrium of a membrane under distributed loads. Yet, regardless of the origin of the problem, the partial differential equations (PDE's) reflect the physical phenomena to be modeled and can be classified as being of hyperbolic, parabolic or elliptic type. The numerical treatment depends on the equation type that can represent several physical situations as diverse as heat conduction and viscous fluid flow. Non- linear model problems are also presented and solved, such as the transonic small disturbance equation and the equations of gas dynamics.

Fluid and flow problems in porous media have attracted the attention of industrialists, engineers and scientists from varying disciplines, such as chemical, environmental, and mechanical engineering, geothermal physics and food science. There has been a increasing interest in heat and fluid flows through porous media, making this book a timely and appropriate resource. <p/>Each chapter is systematically detailed to be easily grasped by a research worker with basic knowledge of fluid mechanics, heat transfer and computational and experimental methods. At the same time, the readers will be informed of the most recent research literature in the field, giving it dual usage as both a post-grad text book and professional reference. <p/>Written by the recent directors of the NATO Advanced Study Institute session on 'Emerging Technologies and Techniques in Porous Media' (June 2003), this book is a timely and essential reference for scientists and engineers within a variety of fields.<br>Department of Applied Mathematics, Ingham Centre for Computational Fluid Dynamics, University of Leeds, Leeds, UK<br>Ioan Pop is a Professor of Applied Mathematics at the Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science at Babes-Bolyai University, Romania. He has more than 50 years' experience of research in fields including fluid mechanics and heat transfer with application to boundary layer theory, heat transfer in Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids, magnetohydrodynamics, and convective flow in fluid-saturated porous media. In his career he has co-supervised more than 20 phd students, written 10 books, and co-authored over 850 research journal papers. He is the Director of the Centre for Excellence in Mechanics of the Romanian National Research Council, and serves on the editorial boards of 14 international scholarly journals, and has served on the organizing committee of over 27 conferences.<br>
