Molecular Gas Dynamics (eBook, PDF)

Theory, Techniques, and Applications

Beschreibung

This self-contained work is an up-to-date treatment of the basic theory of molecular gas dynamics and its various applications. Recent progress in the field has greatly enhanced the original theory and stimulated interesting and critical gas dynamic phenomena and problems. This book, unique in the literature, presents working knowledge, theory, techniques, and typical phenomena in rarefied gases for theoretical development and applications.

Molecular Gas Dynamics is useful for those working in different communities where kinetic theory or fluid dynamics is important: graduate students, researchers, and practitioners in theoretical physics, applied mathematics, and various branches of engineering. The work may be used as a self-study reference or as a textbook in graduate-level courses on fluid dynamics, gas dynamics, kinetic theory, molecular or rarefied gas dynamics, microflows, and applied mathematics.

Rezensionen

From the reviews:

"This is a comprehensive and self-contained text giving an overview of gas dynamics on the basis of kinetic theory in the tradition of asymptotic analysis as pursued by the author and his collaborators...[T]he treatment is lucid and self-contained, with masterfully chosen and executed expansions that do not usually find their way into textbooks...Throughout the whole book, the presentation is illustrated with numerical graphs and tables based on widely varying numerical methods chosen with regard to the respective problems. Clarifying footnotes are generously provided, useful both for the beginner and for the experienced user. An added bonus is accurate and up-to-date surveys of the mathematical status of the

various problems together with an in-depth bibliography. This impressive monograph...will become a convenient and lasting reference in the area." -Transport Theory and Statistical Physics

"In this book the author presents a good review of the theory and the modeling of molecular gas dynamics, together with applications, based on his work with his collaborators. This book is a good reference for researchers interested in applications to kinetic theory and fluid dynamics." -Mathematical Reviews

"The monograph provides a comprehensive and self-contained overview of gas dynamics based on the kinetic theory. ... The presentation is supplemented with illustrations and tables demonstrating the numerical methods suitable for the respective problems. An up-to-date survey of the current status of research in the various areas is given together with an extensive bibliography. The book can serve as a self-study reference or as a textbook."
