This book presents applications to several fluid dynamics problems
in both the bounded and unbounded domains in the framework of the
discrete velocity models of kinetic theory. The proposition of new
models for dense gases, gases with multi-components, and gases with
chemical reactions are also included. This is an up-to-date book on
the applications of the discrete Boltzmann equation.
This book concisely expounds the fundamental concepts, phenomena,
theories and procedures in a complete and systematic sense. In this
book, not only almost all the important achievements from
predecessors but also the contributions from the author himself
have been summed up profoundly. Starting from the derivation of
fundamental equations, various classical acoustical phenomena such
as reflection, refraction, scattering diffraction and absorption in
atmosphere, as well as the influences of gravitation and rotation
of the earth on the behaviors of different atmospheric waves
including acoustic waves, have been discussed in viewpoints of wave
acoustics and geometrical acoustics respectively. The recent
developments of several computation methods in the field of
atmospheric acoustics have been introduced in some detail. As for
the application aspects, atmospheric remote sensing has been
discussed from the angle of inverse problems.
This book tells the story of the power generation gas turbine from
the perspective of one of the leading companies in the field over a
period of nearly 100 years, written by an engineer. Especially in
times of imminent global economic crises it appears to be
worthwhile to reflect on real economic values based on engineering
ingenuity and enduring management of technological leadership.
Though the book is primarily designed as a technical history of the
BBC/ABB/Alstom power generation gas turbines, its scope is
sufficiently broad to cover general development trends, including
parallel competitor activities. A special benefit is the historical
breakdown to the gas turbine component level, so that the book
actually outlines the development of axial compressors from early
beginnings, the progress in combustion technology towards
extraordinary low emission values and that of axial turbines with
special emphasis on early turbine cooling innovations. The sheer
length of certain engineering developments over several decades
allows interesting historic observations and deductions on inherent
business mechanisms, the effects of technology preparations and
organisational consequences. A look into the mirror of the past
provides revelations on the impact of far-reaching business
decisions. 2017 Winner of the Historian Engineer Award of the ASME

The book provides a comprehensive presentation of the topic of
phononic and sonic crystals, including acoustic and elastic wave
propagation in homogeneous and periodic media, Bloch waves and band
structures, surface phononic crystals and phononic crystal slabs,
evanescent Bloch waves and complex band structures, local
resonance, dispersion and negative refraction, and phononic band
gap guidance. The book is accompanied with a comprehensive set of
finite element model (FEM) scripts for solving basic phononic
crystal problems, as supplementary material. The scripts should
allow the reader to generate band structures for 2D and 3D phononic
crystals, to compute Bloch waves, waveguide and cavity modes, and
more. They can be accessed here:

The book presents advanced stochastic models and simulation methods
for random flows and transport of particles by turbulent velocity
fields and flows in porous media. Two main classes of models are
constructed: (1) turbulent flows are modeled as synthetic random
fields which have certain statistics and features mimicing those of
turbulent fluid in the regime of interest, and (2) the models are
constructed in the form of stochastic differential equations for
stochastic Lagrangian trajectories of particles carried by
turbulent flows. The book is written for mathematicians,
physicists, and engineers studying processes associated with
probabilistic interpretation, researchers in applied and
computational mathematics, in environmental and engineering
sciences dealing with turbulent transport and flows in porous
media, as well as nucleation, coagulation, and chemical reaction
analysis under fluctuation conditions. It can be of interest for
students and post-graduates studying numerical methods for solving
stochastic boundary value problems of mathematical physics and
dispersion of particles by turbulent flows and flows in porous
media.
This book gives a detailed, up-to-date account of the
Lense-Thirring effect and its implications for physics and
astrophysics. Starting from a profound intuition of Lense and
Thirring in 1918, based on a simple solution to the linearized
Einstein field equations, this has emerged in the past four decades
as a phenomenon of extraordinary importance in cosmology, radio
jets in quasars, and the physics of neutron stars and black holes,
besides leading to some of the most sophisticated experiments ever
performed in the space surrounding our planet. The book contains
the contributions presented at the "Third William Fairbank
Meeting," which have been expanded by adding a complete set of
classical and prominent contemporary papers on this subject and a
general introduction by R Ruffini.
The book provides a concise and rigor introduction to the
fundamentals of methods for solving the principal problems of
modern non-linear dynamics. This monograph covers the basic issues
of the theory of integrable systems and the theory of dynamical
chaos both in nonintegrable conservative and in dissipative
systems. A distinguishing feature of the material exposition is to
add some comments, historical information, brief biographies and
portraits of the researchers who made the most significant
contribution to science. This allows one to present the material as
accessible and attractive to students to acquire indepth scientific
knowledge of nonlinear mechanics, feel the atmosphere where those
or other important discoveries were made. The book can be used as a
textbook for advanced undergraduate and graduate students majoring
in high-tech industries and high technology (the science based on
high technology) to help them to develop lateral thinking in early
stages of training. Contents: Nonlinear Oscillations Integrable

This book is a continuation of 'Acoustic and Elastic Wave Fields in
Geophysics, Part I' published in 2000. The second volume is
dedicated to propagation of linear plane, spherical and cylindrical
acoustic waves in different media. Chapter 1 is devoted to
principles of geometric acoustic in plane wave approximation. The
eikonal and transport equations are derived. Ray tracing and
wavefront construction techniques are explained. Chapter 2 deals
with dynamic properties of wave fields. The behavior of pressure
and displacements amplitudes in zero approximation is analysed in
two ways: using Poynting vector and solving the transport equation.
This chapter contains several examples related to shadow zones and
caustics. In Chapter 3 using the results of analysis of
high-frequency wave kinematics and dynamics some fundamental
aspects of Kirchhoff migration are described. Chapters 4 and 5 are
devoted to propagation of plane waves in media with flat boundaries
in the case of normal and oblique incidence. Special attention is
paid to the case when an incident angle exceeds the critical
angles. Formation of normal modes in the waveguide is discussed.
Chapter 6 deals with a spherical wave reflection and refraction.
The steepest descent method is introduced to describe the behavior
of reflected, transmitted, head and evanescent waves. In Chapter 7
propagation of stationary and transient waves in a waveguide formed
by a flat layer with low velocity are investigated. Normal modes
and waves related to the branch points of integrands under
consideration are studied. Dispersive properties of normal modes
are discussed. Chapter 8 describes wave propagation inside cylinder
in acoustic media. Several appendices are added to help the reader
understand different aspects of mathematics used in the book.
This book will reveal cost reductions and how to slash your energy
costs without investing big money. The three pillars of costs
reduction will discussed: Assembling your options and analyzing
your risk; developing options with your utility; and cutting out
obvious waste in your operation. Those who will benefit from this
excellent text are business owners, CFOs, plant managers, plant
engineers, and energy managers. You will learn how to distill what
savings are possible and how you can quickly accomplish those
savings from what you already know and can expect to walk away at
the end of this book with confidence and a realistic plan of action
for reducing your costs.
