Book Description
The “Shock Wave Science and Technology Reference Library” is a numbered and bounded collection of specifically commissioned volumes on basic fundamental and applied aspects of shock wave science and technology. A unique collection, the library as a whole sets out to comprehensively and authoritatively cover and review at research level the subject matter with all its ramifications. All chapters are self-contained, so they can be read independently, although they are of course thematically interrelated. Taken together, they offer a timely reference on shock waves in multiphase flows, including new viewpoints and burgeoning developments. The book will appeal to beginners as well as professional scientists and engineers.
Editorial Reviews
From the Back Cover
Shock waves in multiphase flows refers to a rich variety of phenomena of interest to physicists, chemists, and fluid dynamicists, as well as mechanical, biomedical and aeronautical engineers. This volume treats shock and expansion waves in
(bullet) complex, bubbly liquids (L van Wijngaarden, Y Tomita, V Kedrinskii) and
(bullet) cryogenic liquids (M Murakami)
and examines the relationship of shock waves with
(bullet) phase transitions (A Guha, CF Delale, G Schnerr, MEH van Dongen)
(bullet) induced phase transitions (GEA Meier)
as well as their interaction with
(bullet) solid foams, textiles, porous and granular media (B Skews, DMJ Smeulders, MEH van Dongen, V Golub, O Mirova)
All chapters are self-contained, so they can be read independently, although they are of course thematically interrelated. Taken together, they offer a timely reference on shock waves in multiphase flows, including new viewpoints and burgeoning developments. The book will appeal to beginners as well as professional scientists and engineers.
