Relativistic Hydrodynamics
This book provides an up-to-date, lively and approachable introduction to the mathematical formalism, numerical techniques and applications of relativistic hydrodynamics. The topic is presented here in a form which will be appreciated both by students and researchers in the field.
Electrochemical Systems
The new edition of the cornerstone text on electrochemistry Spans all the areas of electrochemistry, from the basicsof thermodynamics and electrode kinetics to transport phenomena inelectrolytes, metals, and semiconductors. Newly updated andexpanded, the Third Edition covers important new treatments, ideas,and technologies while also increasing the book's accessibility forreaders in related fields. Rigorous and complete presentation of the fundamentalconcepts In-depth examples applying the concepts to real-life designproblems Homework problems ranging from the reinforcing to the highlythought-provoking Extensive bibliography giving both the historical developmentof the field and references for the practicing electrochemist.
A Survey of Computational Physics
Computational physics is a rapidly growing subfield of computational science, in large part because computers can solve previously intractable problems or simulate natural processes that do not have analytic solutions. The next step beyond Landau's First Course in Scientific Computing and a follow-up to Landau and Páez's Computational Physics, this text presents a broad survey of key topics in computational physics for advanced undergraduates and beginning graduate students, including new discussions of visualization tools, wavelet analysis, molecular dynamics, and computational fluid dynamics. By treating science, applied mathematics, and computer science together, the book reveals how this knowledge base can be applied to a wider range of real-world problems than computational physics texts normally address. Designed for a one- or two-semester course, A Survey of Computational Physics will also interest anyone who wants a reference on or practical experience in the basics of computational physics. Accessible to advanced undergraduates Real-world problem-solving approach Java codes and applets integrated with text Companion Web site includes videos of lectures
Nonlocal Gravity
Relativity theory assumes locality, without accounting for the observer's past history. This work introduces nonlocality, or history dependence, into relativity theory. Inertia and gravitation are deeply tied, suggesting gravity may be nonlocal. The gravitational memory of past events must then be taken into account
Primordial Cosmology
This book provides an extensive survey of all the physics necessary to understand the current developments in the field of fundamental cosmology, as well as an overview of the observational data and methods. It will help students to get into research by providing definitions and main techniques and ideas discussed today. The book is divided into three parts. Part 1 summarises the fundamentals in theoretical physics needed in cosmology (general relativity, field theory, particle physics). Part 2 describes the standard model of cosmology and includes cosmological solutions of Einstein equations, the hot big bang model, cosmological perturbation theory, cosmic microwave background anisotropies,...
The Sun
Without the Sun, our planet - and life on it - would not exist. As our nearest star, the Sun is also important for astronomers and still presents many puzzles. Philip Judge explains what we know about the Sun's structure and evolution, solar phenomena, and the impact of solar activity on the Earth.
High Accuracy Non-centered Compact Difference Schemes for Fluid Dynamics Applications
This is the first book which describes completely the nontraditional difference schemes which combine the ideas of Pad-type approximation and upwind differencing. These possess some favorable properties and can be used to solve various problems in fluid dynamics and related disciplines. They were proposed by the author in the seventies and are extensively used in Russia. However, they seem to be relatively unknown outside the country. In this book, the author presents the theory of the schemes, to provide some sophisticated algorithms for different computational fluid dynamics problems, to supply readers with useful information which would permit them to construct a rich variety of algorithms of this type and to illustrate the applications of these methods to the numerical simulation of various fluid dynamics phenomena, ranging from supersonic viscous flows to some atmosphere and ocean processes. This book is an essential guide for anyone keenly interested in this field.
Cosmical Magnetic Fields
This book explores the universal spontaneous generation of magnetic fields in astronomical bodies and the agitation of the bodies by those fields. Properties of magnetic fields, their appearance in the universe, and the havoc they wreak are described in simple physical terms to define the broad scientific problem presented by magnetic fields.
Gravitational-Wave Astronomy
This introduction to gravitational waves and related astrophysics provides a bridge across the range of astronomy, physics and cosmology that comes into play when trying to understand the gravitational-wave sky. Key ideas are developed step by step, leading up to the technology that caught these faint whispers from the distant universe.
Relativistic Astrophysics
Relativistic Astrophysics brings together important astronomical discoveries and the significant achievements, as well as the difficulties in the field of relativistic astrophysics. This book is divided into 10 chapters that tackle some aspects of the field, including the gravitational field, stellar equilibrium, black holes, and cosmology. The opening chapters introduce the theories to delineate gravitational field and the elements of relativistic thermodynamics and hydrodynamics. The succeeding chapters deal with the gravitational fields in matter; stellar equilibrium and general relativity stability; and the properties of pulsar, rotating and neutron stars. The discussion then shifts to the association between gravitational collapse and black holes, as well as the astrophysical investigations of neutron stars and black holes. The final chapters examine the principles of gravitational waves and advances in understanding the field of cosmology. This book will be of great value to astrophysicists and related scientists.
