=Introduction to Computational Fluid Dynamics=

If you are new to CFD, a must read is this book, as recommended by [http://www.cfd-online.com/Books/show_book.php?book_id=3 cfd-online]: '''Computational Fluid Dynamics: The Basics with Applications''', by John David Anderson, 1995. Yes this book is nearly 20 years old, but is a very nice introduction to the topic, the theory doesn't age. A bad quality pdf is wandering on the Web.

If you want to see what CFD looks like on the theory and programming side, a brief overview of a basic method is presented in: [http://www.gputechconf.com/gtcnew/on-demand-gtc.php?sessionTopic=12&select=+#45 A Practical Introduction to Computational Fluid Dynamics on GPUs] from the GPU Tech Conference 2010 (direct link to [http://us.download.nvidia.com/downloads/GTC_Videos/flvs/2058_GTC2010.mp4 slides+voice mp4] and [http://www.nvidia.com/content/GTC-2010/pdfs/2058_GTC2010.pdf presentation's pdf]). This presentation's main topic is using OpenCL to speed up CFD applications, so OpenCL is briefly presented too if you're interested.
