Textbook
There is no required textbook for ME 448/548. Extensive notes are provided on this web site, and printed documents provided to you. The syllabus lists a number of references.
The book that most closely supports StarCCM+ is Computational Methods for Fluid Dynamics, 4th ed., 2019, by Joel H. Ferziger, Milovan Peric and Robert L. Street. The book has a web site with an image gallery and a link to Fortran codes that implement finite-volume CFD methods.
