Numerical Simulation in Micropolar Fluid Dynamics presents a detailed study of various multi-physical flow problems of micropolar non-Newtonian fluids. A comprehensive overview of modern micropolar fluid mechanics and applications is provided. A number of powerful numerical methods including finite element methods, homotopy analysis methods, network simulation and differential transform methods are then applied to specific steady flow scenarios. Magnetohydrodynamic, double-diffusive convection, magneto-tribological, stagnation point, chemically-reacting and enclosure flows are all studied. Extensive details of numerical analysis are provided. It is hoped that this monograph will stimulate further research in related fields.

Semiconductors comprising elements from groups II and VI of the periodic table and having a large energy gap (e g ZnSe) are generating intense R&D activity world-wide largely as a result of their blue green diodes. To review the accumulating knowledge and provide an up-to-date state-of-the-art picture 34 scientists from leading research groups in the USA, Europe and Japan have pooled their knowledge under the editorship of Dr. Bhargava. The book is illustrated, structured for reference and deeply indexed.
