hi, i'm a student in aerospace engineering in LA. i m looking for a great book of CFD to study it on my own. I have already taken classes of fluid dynamics, low speed and high speed aerodynamics. i'm not looking for an introduction, but for a real CFD book. However, i don t have that much time to study it, i so don t want a 1000 pages textbook. if somebody has advises for me, it would be great. louison

For a short introduction to CFD and the finite volume method I'd recommend Versteeg's:

An Introduction to Computational Fluid Dynamics: The Finite Volume Method

For compressible CFD Laney's book is great:

Computational Gasdynamicsa

Another nice classic is Andersson's:

Computational Fluid Dynamics: The Basics with Applications

For other suggestions take a look at:

CFD Books Guide, General CFD Books

You can find a bunch of reviews there.
