High-Order Methods for Incompressible Fluid Flow. - MO Deville (Ecole Polytechnique Federale, Lausanne, Switzerland), PF Fischer (Argonne Natl Lab, Argonne IL 60439), EH Mund (Univ Libre, Brussels, Belgium). Cambridge UP, Cambridge, UK. 2002. 499 pp. ISBN 0-521-45309-7. $80.00.Reviewed by DK Gartling (Comp Fluid Dyn, Sandia Natl Labs, MS 0826, Albuquerque NM 87185-5800).This book is focused on the development and use of numerical methods for the solution of problems in incompressible fluid dynamics. Though not completely evident from the title, the methods of primary interest are spectral and spectral element methods and the closely associated orthogonal collocation techniques. In terms of flow problems,…
