With the increasing awareness of the heavy burden placed on environmental resources and the need for industry and public institutions to cope with more stringent regulations, this timely book focuses on some specific, but very important, environmental problems, namely, surface and subsurface hydrosystems.
The book provides an original approach in the research of structural analysis of free developed shear compressible turbulence at high Reynolds number on the base of direct numerical simulation (DNS) and instability evolution for ideal medium (integral conservation laws) with approximate mechanism of dissipation (FLUX dissipative monotone "e;upwind"e; difference schemes) and does not use any explicit sub-grid approximation and semi-empirical models of turbulence.
Multi-Scale Phenomena in Complex Fluids is a collection of lecture notes delivered during the first two series of mini-courses from "e;Shanghai Summer School on Analysis and Numerics in Modern Sciences"e;, which was held in 2004 and 2006 at Fudan University, Shanghai, China.
Environmental fluid mechanics (EFM) is the scientific study of transport, dispersion and transformation processes in natural fluid flows on our planet Earth, from the microscale to the planetary scale.
The Proceedings of the 1st Conference on New Trends in Fluid and Solid Models provide an overview of results and new models in fluid dynamics and, in general, in continuum mechanics.
This volume contains 25 review articles by experts which provide up-to-date information about the recent progress in computational fluid dynamics (CFD).
This is the first-ever book on smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) and its variations, covering the theoretical background, numerical techniques, code implementation issues, and many novel and interesting applications.
This book is essentially made up of the lecture notes delivered by seven authors at the International Centre for Mechanical Sciences in Udine in June 1979.
The monograph addresses a canonical problem in linear water wave theory, through the development-detailed, asymptotic analysis of contour integrals in the complex plane.
This invaluable book presents a comprehensive introduction to bifurcation theory in the presence of symmetry, an applied mathematical topic which has developed considerably over the past twenty years and has been very successful in analysing and predicting pattern formation and other critical phenomena in most areas of science where nonlinear models are involved, like fluid flow instabilities, chemical waves, elasticity and population dynamics.
This book is intended as an introductory textbook for graduate students and as a reference book for engineers and scientists working in the field of coastal engineering.
