Hi @mehakkar123,

a good start would be:

**For CFD:**

- **[An Introduction to Computational Fluid Dynamics: The Finite Volume Method - Versteeg & Malalasekra](http://amzn.to/2koGlt9)**

- More a tutorial but also useful : **[A Comprehensive Tour of snappyHexMesh - OpenFOAMWiki](https://www.google.de/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwiP2PaQ3erSAhVJWxQKHagjACQQFggaMAA&url=https%3A%2F%2Fopenfoamwiki.net%2Fimages%2Ff%2Ff0%2FFinal-AndrewJacksonSlidesOFW7.pdf&usg=AFQjCNE4GIdNjTPdBSsMG0TqQaKFG0MCGw&sig2=yUyiTEYc91sJ7gecGdc4uA&bvm=bv.150120842,d.d24)**

* * *

**For FEA:**

- **Introduction to the Finite Element Method** – **Niels Ottosen & Hans Petersson**

- **The Finite Element Method Set (Sixth Edition)** – **O.C. Zienkiewicz, R.L. Taylor and J.Z. Zhu**

- **A First Course in Finite Elements** – **Jacob Fish, Ted Belytschko**

- \*_Concepts and Applications of Finite Element Analysis_ – **Robert D. Cook and David S. Malkus**

- **Finite Element Procedures in Engineering Analysis** – **K.J. Bathe (MIT)**

Of course any PDF you can find for CFD and FEA via Google will help you understand the topic a little bit better.

For FEA, Meshing will play a role in almost every book that you can find since it is essential to understand how FEA (“ **FINITE** Element Analysis”) works.

My **[FEA Series](https://www.simscale.com/forum/t/the-finite-element-method-fundamentals-introduction-1/28510)** covers the basics of that, so you might also have a look at that one.

Community, feel free to add some more.

I will soon publish a dedicated page for this. So thanks for the question 😉

Best,

Jousef
