ISBN: 0387983767
This scholarly text provides an introduction to the numerical methods used to model partial differential equations governing wave-like and weakly dissipative flows. The focus of the book is on fundamental methods and standard fluid dynamical problems such as tracer transport, the shallow-water equations and the Euler equations. The emphasis is on methods appropriate for applications in atmospheric and oceanic science, but these same methods are also well-suited for the simulation of wave-like flows in many other scientific and engineering disciplines.

One of the fundamental engineering sciences, the study of transport phenomena has applications in a number of emerging fields, such as biotechnology, nanotechnology, and polymer science. While not aiming to be a comprehensive treatment of the subject, this text presents enough material for both an introductory and an advanced course. The second edition features new coverage on a number of topics, including Taylor dispersion, angular momentum conservation, and matrix methods for multicomponent mass transfer.

Paperback: ; Dimensions (in inches): 1.13 x 9.86 x 6.80
Publisher: Butterworth-Heinemann; ; 2nd edition (February 1995)
ISBN: 0750627670
This is the Volume 6 of the famous Course of Theoretical Physics by L. D. Landau and E. M. Lifshitz. All serious students of theoretical physics must possess the ten volumes of this excellent Course, which cover in detail and rigour practically all the branches of theoretical physics. The Volume 6 treats the theory of the motion of liquids and gases. The book opens with the theory of ideal fluids and drives the attention of the reader to a large amount of topics, which are discussed in greater detail and, moreover, discussing with details topics not usually found in other similar books, such as turbulence, sound, fluid dynamics of combustion, relativistic fluid dynamics and the dynamics of superfluids. The book is written in a language proper of a theoretical physicist, but owing to its clarity, it can be read without problems for other scientists. A superb book!
