Mechanics of Fluids

Informationen zum Autor Joseph M. Powers is a professor of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering at the University of Notre Dame. His research uses computational science to elucidate the dynamics of high-speed reactive fluids as it applies to verification and validation of multiscale systems. He is the Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Propulsion and Power and has previously published Mathematical Methods in Engineering (2015) and Combustion Thermodynamics and Dynamics (2016).
