Books in the Series in Computational and Physical Processes in Mechanics and Thermal Sciences series

Offers an understanding of mathematical methods involved in numerical computer analysis, and highlights the issues of importance to the field of engineering.

This book provides a thorough understanding of fluid dynamics and heat and mass transfer. The second edition contains new chapters on mesh generation and computational modeling of turbulent flow. Combining theory and practice in classic problems and computer code, the text includes examples in ANSYS, STAR CCM+, and COMSOL.

This book deals with certain aspects of material science, particularly with the release of thermal energy associated with bond breaking. It clearly establishes the connection between heat transfer rates and product quality. The editors then sharply draw the thermal distinctions between the various categories of welding processes, and demonstrate how these distinctions are translated into simulation model uniqueness. The book discusses the incorporation of radiative heat transfer processes into the simulation model.
