About this book

This book offers an in-depth verification of numerical solutions for differential equations modeling heat transfer phenomena, where the smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) method is used to discretize the mathematical models. Techniques described in this book aim to speed up the convergence of numerical solutions and increase their accuracy by significantly reducing the discretization error.


In their quest, the authors shed light on new sources of numerical error that are specific to the SPH method and, through them, they identify the characteristics of the solutions influenced by such errors. The accuracy of numerical solutions is also improved with the application of advanced tools like the repeated Richardson extrapolation (RRE) in quadruple precision, which was adapted to consider fixed or moving particles. The book finishes with the conclusion that the qualitative and quantitative verification of numerical solutions through coherence tests andmetrics are currently a methodology of excellence to treat computational heat transfer problems.


Mathematicians in applied fields and engineers modelling and solving real physical phenomena can greatly benefit from this work, as well as any reader interested in numerical methods for differential equations.
