Understanding the causes and effects of explosions is important to
experts in a broad range of disciplines, including the military,
industrial and environmental research, aeronautic engineering, and
applied mathematics. Offering an introductory review of historic
research, Shock Waves and Explosions brings analytic and
computational methods to a wide audience in a clear and thorough
way. Beginning with an overview of the research on combustion and
gas dynamics in the 1970s and 1980s, the author brings you up to
date by covering modeling techniques and asymptotic and
perturbative methods and ending with a chapter on computational
methods. Most of the book deals with the mathematical analysis of
explosions, but computational results are also included wherever
they are available. Historical perspectives are provided on the
advent of nonlinear science, as well as on the mathematical study
of the blast wave phenomenon, both when visualized as a point
explosion and when simulated as the expansion of a high-pressure
gas. This volume clearly reveals the ingenuity of the human mind to
conceptualize, model, and mathematically analyze highly complicated
nonlinear phenomena such as nuclear explosions. It presents a solid
foundation of knowledge that encourages further research and
original ideas.
