Interfacial Transport Phenomena
Springer-Verlag New York Inc 2007; US$ 229.00Gives a presentation of transport phenomena or continuum mechanics focused on momentum, energy, and mass transfer at interfaces. This work includes a discussion of transport phenomena at common lines or three-phase lines of contact, and a theory for the extension of continuum mechanics to the nanoscale region immediately adjacent to the interface. more...
Lattice Boltzmann Modeling
Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG 2007; US$ 99.99Lattice Boltzmann models have a remarkable ability to simulate single- and multi-phase fluids and transport processes within them. This book provides a basic introduction that emphasizes intuition and simplistic conceptualization of processes. It avoids the more difficult mathematics that underlies LB models. more...
Transport Phenomena and Kinetic Theory
Springer 2007; US$ 109.99The study of kinetic equations related to gases, semiconductors, photons, traffic flow, and other systems has developed rapidly because of its role as a mathematical tool in areas such as engineering, and others. This book presents an overview of developments in the field of mathematical kinetic theory with a focus on modeling complex systems. more...
Ultra-cold Fermi Gases
IOS Press 2008; US$ 322.00The field of cold atomic gases faced a revolution in 1995 when Bose-Einstein condensation was achieved. The quest for ultra-cold Fermi gases started shortly after the 1995 discovery, and quantum degeneracy in a gas of fermionic atoms was obtained in 1999. This work covers experimental techniques for the creation and study of Fermi quantum gases. more...
Phase Transitions and Renormalization Group
Oxford University Press, UK 2007; US$ 98.99The renormalization group is one of most important theoretical concepts that has emerged in physics during the twentieth century. It explains important properties of fundamental interactions at the microscopic scale, as well as universal properties of continuous macroscopic phase transitions. - ;This work tries to provide an elementary introduction... more...
Stochastic Dynamics and Boltzmann Hierarchy
De Gruyter 2009; US$ 168.00The monograph is devoted to one of the most important trends in contemporary mathematical physics, the investigation of evolution equations of many-particle systems of statistical mechanics. The book systematizes rigorous results obtained in this field in recent years, and it presents contemporary methods for the investigation of evolution equations... more...
Crystal-Liquid-Gas Phase Transitions and Thermodynamic Similarity
Wiley 2006; US$ 215.00Professor Skripov obtained worldwide recognition with his monograph "Metastable liquids", published in English by Wiley & Sons. Based upon this work and another monograph published only in Russia, this book investigates the behavior of melting line and the properties of the coexisting crystal and liquid phase of simple substances across a wide range... more...
Geometry and Phase Transitions in Colloids and Polymers
World Scientific Publishing Company 2009; US$ 91.00This monograph represents an extension of the author's original PhD thesis and includes a more thorough discussion on the concepts and mathematics behind his research works on the foam model, as applied to studying issues of phase stability and elasticity for various non-closed packed structures found in fuzzy and colloidal crystals, as well as... more...
Kinetics of First-order Phase Transitions
Wiley 2009; US$ 205.00Filling a gap in the literature, this crucial publication on the renowned Lifshitz-Slezov-Wagner Theory of first-order phase transitions is authored by one of the scientists who gave it its name. Prof Slezov spent decades analyzing this topic and obtained a number of results that form the cornerstone of this rapidly developing branch of science. Following... more...
Principles of Statistical Physics
Wiley 2006; US$ 155.00Written for graduate or advanced students as well as for professionals in physics and chemistry, this book includes the fundamental concepts of statistical physics and physical kinetics. These concepts relate to a wide range of physical objects, such as liquids and solids, gases and plasmas, clusters and systems of complex molecules. The book analyzes... more...
