Digital Simulation in Electrochemistry (eBook, PDF)

Beschreibung

This book is an extensive revision of the earlier 2nd Edition with the same title, of 1988. The book has been rewritten in, I hope, a much more did- tic manner. Subjects such as discretisations or methods for solving ordinary di?erential equations are prepared carefully in early chapters, and assumed in later chapters, so that there is clearer focus on the methods for partial di?erential equations. There are many new examples, and all programs are inFortran90/95,whichallows amuchclearerprogrammingstylethanearlier Fortran versions. In the years since the 2nd Edition, much has happened in electrochemical digital simulation. Problems that ten years ago seemed insurmountable have been solved, such as the thin reaction layer formed by very fast homogeneous reactions, or sets of coupled reactions. Two-dimensional simulations are now commonplace, and with the help of unequal intervals, conformal maps and sparse matrix methods, these too can be solved within a reasonable time. Techniques have been developed that make simulation much more e?cient, so that accurate results can be achieved in a short computing time. Stable higher-order methods have been adapted to the electrochemical context. The book is accompanied (on the webpage www.springerlink.com/ openurl.asp?genre=issue&issn=1616-6361&volume=666) by a number of - ample procedures and programs, all in Fortran 90/95. These have all been veri?edasfaraspossible.Whilesomeerrorsmightremain,theyarehopefully very few.

Autor

Dieter Britz, Ph.D. (Sydney Univ. 1967), Dipl. Comp. Sci. (University of Newcastle, Australia, 1985), Dr. scient (Aarhus Univ., Denmark, 2007). Dr. Britz has gathered longstanding experience in electrochemistry during research stays all over the world: he worked at the CSIRO, Sydney, on corrosion problems, on inorganic ion exchangers at the University of New York at Buffalo (1967-68), he performed instrumental work at the University of Kentucky, Lexington, USA (1968-70), investigated corrosion and electrosynthesis at the Nuclear Research Centre in Jülich, Germany (1970-75), and performed data analysis of turbulence signals at Newcastle University, Australia (1975-78). In 1978 he accepted the position of Assoc. Professor at Aarhus University in Denmark, from which he retired as Emeritus Assoc. Professor in 2001. In Aarhus, he has worked on a number of projects, focusing on corrosion, electroanalysis and digital simulation. Jörg Strutwolf received the Diploma and Ph.D. degrees in the Theoretical Chemistry Group, University of Bielefeld, Germany. He has specialized in the investigation of interfacial transport processes by theoretical and experimental methods. His current research interests include the dynamics and reactivity of soft interfaces, the combination of microfluidics and electrochemistry, numerical modelling of transport and reaction phenomena in electrochemistry (mainly in co-operation with Dieter Britz), electrochemistry at the nanoscale, and nanostructuring of interfaces for sensor application. Currently, he is a Visiting Scientist at the University of Tübingen, Germany. He has worked in numerous electrochemistry groups, e.g. at University College London, U.K., University of Warwick, Coventry, U.K., Universitat Rovira i Virgili, Tarragona, Spain, and Tyndall National Institute, Cork, Ireland.
