Fundamental Fluid Mechanics and Magnetohydrodynamics
This book is primarily intended to enable postgraduate research students to enhance their understanding and expertise in Fluid Mechanics and Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD), subjects no longer treated in isolation. The exercises throughout the book often serve to provide additional and quite significant knowledge or to develop selected mathematical skills, and may also fill in certain details or enhance readers’ understanding of essential concepts. A previous background or some preliminary reading in either of the two core subjects would be advantageous, and prior knowledge of multivariate calculus and differential equations is expected.
Aspects of Mathematical Modelling
The construction of mathematical models is an essential scientific activity. Mathematics is associated with developments in science and engineering, but more recently mathematical modelling has been used to investigate complex systems that arise in other fields. This book demonstrates the application of mathematics to research topics in ecology and environmental science, health and medicine, phylogenetics and neural networks, theoretical chemistry, economics and management.
Moving Loads on Ice Plates
Moving Loads on Ice Plates is a unique study into the effect of vehicles and aircraft travelling across floating ice sheets. It synthesizes in a single volume, with a coherent theme and nomenclature, the diverse literature on the topic, hitherto available only as research journal articles. Chapters on the nature of fresh water ice and sea ice, and on applied continuum mechanics are included, as is a chapter on the subject's venerable history in related areas of engineering and science. The most recent theories and data are discussed in great depth, demonstrating the advanced state of the modelling and experimental field programmes that have taken place. Finally, results are interpreted in th...
In Celebration of K.C. Hines
This book presents a comprehensive review of a diverse range of subjects in physics written by physicists who have all been taught by or are associated with K C Hines. Ken Hines was a great mentor with far-reaching influence on his students who later went on to make outstanding contributions to physics in their careers. The papers provide significant insights into statistical physics, plasma physics from fluorescent lighting to quantum pair plasmas, cosmic ray physics, nuclear reactions, and many other fields. Sample Chapter(s). Chapter 1: Concerning Ken Hines... (358 KB). Contents: Resonant X-Ray Scattering and X-Ray Absorption: Closing the Circle? (Z Barnea et al.); The Screened Field of a Test Particle (R L Dewar); Aspects of Plasma Physics (R J Hosking); The Boltzmann Equation in Fluorescent Lamp Theory (G Lister); Pair Modes in Relativistic Quantum Plasmas (D B Melrose & J McOrist); Neutrons from the Galactic Centre (R R Volkas); Quaternions and Octonions in Nature (G C Joshi); Accretion onto the Supermassive Black Hole at the Centre of Our Galaxy (F Melia); and other papers. Readership: Academics and graduate students interested in physics.
Proceedings of the Twenty Sixth General Assembly Prague 2006
IAU Transactions XXVIB contains the Proceedings of the IAU XXVII General Assembly held in Prague, 14-25 August 2006, hosting a total of 2412 participants from 73 countries. The Assembly featured a rich scientific program, comprising 6 Symposia, 17 Joint Discussions and 7 Special Sessions. During the program about 650 papers were presented and more than 1550 posters displayed. The Proceedings of the 6 Symposia have been published in the Proceedings of the IAU Symposia Series, and the proceedings of the Joint Discussions and Special Sessions feature in IAU Highlights of Astronomy, 14. Together with those 7 volumes, these Transactions cover the entire General Assembly. In addition to the scientific program, the XXVI General Assembly hosted the regular Business Meetings of the EC, the 12 Divisions, 40 Commissions and 75 Working Groups. This volume records the organizational and administrative business of the XXVI General Assembly and the status of the IAU membership.
First Steps in Numerical Analysis
This book provides an introduction to the elementary concepts and methods of numerical analysis. The step-by-step approach and continuous self-assessment allows the reader to develop at their own pace ensuring they gain a thorough understanding.
Mathematical Modelling
This volume is a collection of chapters that present key ideas and theories, as well as their rigorous applications, required for the development of mathematical models in areas such as travelling waves, epidemiology, the chemotaxis system, atrial fibrillation, and vortex nerve complexes. The techniques, methodologies and approaches adopted in this book have relevance in several other fields including physics, biology, and sociology. Each chapter should also assist readers in comfortably comprehending the related and underlying ideas. The companion volume (Contemporary Mathematics, Volume 786) is devoted to principle and theory.
