Riguardo questo articolo

Hardcover. Reactive flows encompass a broad range of physical phenomena, interacting over many different time and space scales. Such flows occur in combustion, chemical lasers, the earth's oceans and atmosphere, and in stars. Because of a similarity in their descriptive equations, procedures for constructing numerical models of these systems are also similar, and these similarities can be exploited. Moreover, using the latest technology, what were once difficult and expensive computations can now be done on desktop computers. The new edition of this book takes account of the explosive growth in computer technology and the greatly increased capacity for solving complex reactive-flow problems that has occurred since the first edition was published in 1987. It presents algorithms useful for reactive flow simulations, describes trade-offs involved in their use, and gives guidance for building and using models of complex reactive flows. The new edition provides an indispensable guide to how to construct, use, and interpret numerical simulations of reactive flows.This book will be welcomed by advanced undergraduate and graduate students, and a wide range of researchers and practitioners in engineering, physics, and chemistry. This new edition takes account of the explosive growth in computer technology and the greatly increased capacity for solving complex reactive-flow problems. It presents algorithms for reactive flow simulations, describes some trade-offs involved in their use, and gives guidance for building and using models of complex reactive flows.

Takes account of the greatly increased capacity in computer technology for solving complex reactive flow problems.

Recensione

'I find this book a very useful reference since it is written by people with first hand experience in 'dirty computation', who can appreciate the practical problems a numerical modeller may face ... It should serve as an excellent reference book for postgraduate students and researchers in engineering and physics, in particular, those involved in code development for flow modelling, non-reactive and reactive alike.'
