Informationen zum Autor Joseph M. Powers is a professor in the Department of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering at the University of Notre Dame, Indiana. His research uses computational science to consider the dynamics of high-speed reactive fluids, especially as it applies to verification and validation of complex multiscale systems. He has held positions at the NASA Lewis Research Center, the Air Force Research Laboratory, the Los Alamos National Laboratory, and the Chinese Academy of Sciences. He is a member of AIAA, APS, ASME, the Combustion Institute, and SIAM, and is the recipient of numerous teaching awards. Klappentext This textbook combines rigorous mathematical analysis with combustion science to address standard problems in reactive fluid mechanics. Zusammenfassung This book is for graduate and advanced undergraduate students in aerospace! mechanical and chemical engineering! as well as physics and applied mathematics. It is appropriate as both a textbook and an exposition of combustion science. It treats modern topics in thermodynamics! physical chemistry! and dynamics of advection-reaction-diffusion.
