Kinetic Theory and Transport Phenomena

Informationen zum Autor Rodrigo Soto gained his PhD in physics at the Universidad de Chile! finishing in 1998. He was a postdoctoral researcher at the Centre Européen de Calcul Atomique et Moléculaire in Lyon! France. Since 2015 he is Full Professor in the Physics Department at the Universidad de Chile. He has been Visiting Professor at the Universidad Complutense in Madrid! Spain; Ecole Supérieure de Physique et Chimie Industrielles de la Ville de Paris! France; and at theUniversity of Oxford! UK. His has worked on different subjects of non-equilibrium statistical mechanics! mainly on the dynamics of granular materials! in the dynamical Casimir effect! and in active fluids. Klappentext This book presents the fundamentals and predictions of kinetic theory! considering classical paradigmatic examples as well as modern applications.
