This is a really excellent textbook as well as a reference book on the numerical
implementation and computer programing of the direct boundary element method as applied …

Numerical simulation of flames is a growing field bringing important improvements to our
understanding of combustion. The main issues and related closures of turbulent combustion …

Computational Fluid Dynamics: A Practical Approach, Fourth Edition is an introduction to
computational fluid dynamics (CFD) fundamentals and commercial CFD software to solve …

The understanding of fluid turbulence has considerably progressed in recent years. The
application of the methods of statistical mechanics to the description of the motion of fluid …

Probability density function (PDF) methods offer compelling advantages for modeling
chemically reacting turbulent flows. In particular, they provide an elegant and effective …

When very small particles are suspended in a fluid in motion, they tend to follow the flow.
How such tracer particles are mixed, transported, and dispersed by turbulent flow has been …

Using what has become a celebrated catchphrase, Philip W. Anderson once wrote that
“more is different”(Science, Vol. 177, Issue 4047, pp. 393–396, 1972). First formulated in the …

Due to their fundamental importance for premixed combustion theory, turbulent flame speed
and thickness were a subject of a large number of investigations for many decades. The …

Mechanics is the science of force and motion of matter. Solid mechanics is the science of
force and motion of matter in the solid state. Physicists are of course interested in …

Hydrogeological variables of a groundwater system, for example, the hydraulic head and
contaminant concentration, vary with space and time. The variability is due to spatial …
