Book Description
Phenomena of convection are abundant in nature as well as in industry. This volume addresses the subject of convection from the point of view of both, theory and application. While the first three chapters provide a refresher on fluid dynamics and heat transfer theory, the rest of the book describes the modern developments in theory. Thus it brings the reader to the “front” of the modern research. This monograph provides the theoretical foundation on a topic relevant to metallurgy, ecology, meteorology, geo-and astrophysics, aerospace industry, chemistry, crystal physics, and many other fields.
Editorial Reviews
Review
This book presents a careful and detailed introduction to the modern mathematical models of convection. […] In the reviewer’s opinion, this book provides a fundamental and comprehensive presentation of the mathematical and physical theory of fluid flows in non-classical models of convection, pointing out the most important practical applications. The book is excellently written and readable. Results of numerical solutions are given graphically and in tabular form. The book will be of great interest to a wide range of specialists working in the area of convection. It can be also recommended as a text for seminars and courses, as well as for independent study.
