Mathematical Models of Fluiddynamics An Introduction to Modelling, Theory, Numerical Methods and Applications

The author introduces the reader to mathematical modeling, theoretical treatment of the underlying physical laws and the construction and effective use of numerical procedures to describe the behavior of the dynamics of physical flow. Both students and experts intending to control or predict the behavior of fluid flows by theoretical and computational fluid dynamics will benefit from the combination of all relevant aspects in one handy volume.
