“The outstanding feature of Advances… is its completeness. If you have ever encountered a problem in understanding or analyzing an aspect of the vdW fluid, the solution to your problem is outlined here. Johnston slowly and incrementally explores every feature of the vdW fluid including its relation to the Lennard-Jones potential via a mean field approximation, its free energy and chemical potential, bulk properties, critical point, corresponding states, Maxwell construction, coexistence region, lever rule, and order parameter. The vdW fluid, unlike the ideal gas, is a perfect test-bed for thermodynamic concepts.”

A graduate level introduction to the field of modeling and simulation of turbulent flow.

OVERVIEW

An overview of simulation strategies focusing on direct and large-eddy simulation so as to provide information about the primary turbulent flow phenomena at different, controllable levels of detail. The book is centered around four important themes: aspects of turbulence phenomenology, numerical methods for DNS and LES, mathematical-physical elements of turbulence modeling, and validation and error-dynamics of actual flow simulation. Provides a perspective on modern turbulent flow simulation that encompasses all relevant elements, while making the basic problem-areas in large-eddy simulation transparent and accessible.

Modern research-grade algorithms and visualization techniques are applied to fundamental heat transfer problems. Detailed descriptions of all printed matter and software included are available at:

Book Description
This book (and software on the accompanying CD-ROM) applies modern research-grade numerical procedures to fundamental heat transfer problems. "Canned" modules are provided for nine important topics in heat transfer. Most of these modules consist of an attractive Visual Basic interface driving a highly-optimized Fortran DLL. Modern visualization techniques (color contour plots, etc.) are used to depict the results so that student users can understand the physics underlying the problem. Data from several of these modules may be dumped to a spreadsheet for further processing - much as if the user had an extremely well equipped laboratory at his or her disposal. A half dozen other projects designed to be implemented at the undergraduate level are included. About 60 additional pages of theory and detailed implementation instructions intended primarily for use at the graduate level are provided in "pdf" form on the CD. Of particular interest are the several modules that eliminate the need for the tedious chart and table-based, pre-computer techniques for transient conduction, heat exchanger design, etc. that are still commonly taught in standard textbooks.

Covers both fundamental and applied topics in heat transfer. Date: August 13, 2006 - August 18, 2006 Location: Sydney, Australia
