Introduction To Molecular Beams Gas Dynamicsby Giovanni Sanna; Giuseppe Tomassetti
World Scientific 2005; US$ 103.00Introduction to Molecular Beams Gas Dynamics is devoted to the theory and phenomenology of supersonic molecular beams. The book describes the main physical idea and mathematical methods of the gas dynamics of molecular beams, while the detailed derivation of results and equations is accompanied by an explanation of their physical meaning. The phenomenology of supersonic beams can appear complex to those not experienced in supersonic gas dynamics and the few existing reviews on the topic generally presume specific knowledge of the subject. The book begins with a quantitative description of the fundamental laws of gas dynamics and goes on to explain such phenomena. It analyzes the evolution of the gas jet from the continuum to the regime of almost... more...
Handbook of Shock Wavesby Gabi Ben-Dor; Ozer Igra; Tov Elperin
Elsevier 2000; US$ 2,455.00The Handbook of Shock Waves contains a comprehensive, structured coverage of research topics related to shock wave phenomena including shock waves in gases, liquids, solids, and space. Shock waves represent an extremely important physical phenomena which appears to be of special practical importance in three major fields: compressible flow (aerodynamics), materials science, and astrophysics. Shock waves comprise a phenomenon that occurs when pressure builds to force a reaction, i.e. sonic boom that occurs when a jet breaks the speed of sound. This Handbook contains experimental, theoretical, and numerical results which never before appeared under one cover; the first handbook of its kind. The Handbook of Shock Waves is intended for... more...
Rarefield Gas Dynamicsby Ching Shen
Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG 2005; US$ 239.00This book elucidates the methods of molecular gas dynamics or rarefied gas dynamics which treat the problems of gas flows when the discrete molecular effects of the gas prevail under the circumstances of low density, the emphasis being on the basis of the methods, the direct simulation Monte Carlo method applied to the simulation of non-equilibrium effects and the frontier subjects related to low speed microscale rarefied gas flows. It provides a solid basis for the study of molecular gas dynamics for senior students and graduates in the aerospace and mechanical engineering departments of universities and colleges. It gives a general acquaintance of modern developments of rarefied gas dynamics in various regimes and leads to the frontier topics... more...
Assessment of Safety and Risk with a Microscopic Model of Detonationby C.-O. Leiber
Elsevier 2003; US$ 260.00This unique book is a store of less well-known explosion and detonation phenomena, including also data and experiences related to safety risks. It highlights the shortcomings of the current engineering codes based on a classical plane wave model of the phenomenon, and why these tools must fail. For the first time all the explosion phenomena are described in terms of proper assemblages of hot spots, which emit pressure waves and associated near field terms in flow. Not all of the approaches are new. Some even date back to the 19th century or earlier.. What is new is the application of these approaches to explosion phenomena. In order to make these tools easily available to the current detonation physicist, basic acoustics is therefore also... more...
Molecular Gas Dynamicsby Yoshio Sone
Springer 2005; US$ 171.00Providing treatment of the basic theory of molecular gas dynamics and its various applications, this book presents working knowledge, theory, techniques, and typical phenomena in rarefied gases for theoretical development and applications. It is useful for those working in different communities where kinetic theory or fluid dynamics is important. more...
The Detonation Phenomenonby John H. S. Lee
Cambridge University Press 2008; US$ 110.00This book introduces the detonation phenomenon for engineers with a background in thermodynamics and fluid mechanics. more...
Turbulent Particle-Laden Gas Flowsby A.Y. Varaksin
Springer 2007; US$ 175.00This book presents results of experimental and theoretical studies of "gas-solid particles" turbulent two-phase flows. It analyzes the characteristics of heterogeneous flows in channels (pipes), as well as those in the vicinity of the critical points of bodies subjected to flow and in the boundary layer developing on their surface. Coverage also treats in detail problems of physical simulation of turbulent gas flows which carry solid particles. more...
Kinetic Theory of Granular Gasesby Nikolai V. Brilliantov; Thorsten Pöschel
Oxford University Press, UK 2004; US$ 130.00This is the first introductory text in the rapidly growing field of granular gases. In contrast to molecular gases (for example, air), the particles of granular gases, such as a cloud of dust, lose part of their kinetic energy when they collide, giving rise to many exciting physical properties. The book provides a self-contained introduction to the theory of granular gases for advanced undergraduates and beginning graduates. - ;"Kinetic Theory of Granular Gases" provides an introduction to the rapidly developing theory of dissipative gas dynamics - a theory which has mainly evolved over the last decade. The book is aimed at readers from the advanced undergraduate level upwards and leads on to the present state of research. Throughout,... more...
