Frequently asked questions

How should I approach learning computational fluid dynamics?
The commonest way to fail at CFD is to learn the software before the fluid mechanics, so this path insists on the physics first and only then moves to discretization.
What's a good book to start computational fluid dynamics with?
A strong starting point is Fluid mechanics by Frank M. White. The ordered reading paths above show exactly where it fits and what to read next.
What should I read after computational fluid dynamics?
Once you have the fundamentals, explore closely related subjects like Automotive engineering and vehicle dynamics, Fluid dynamics, Chaos theory and nonlinear dynamics.
