Produktbeschreibung
This self-contained book is an up-to-date description of the basic theory of molecular gas dynamics and its various applications. The progress in the field over the last thirty years has greatly enhanced the original theory and has stimulated interesting and critical gas dynamic phenomena and problems. 'Molecular Gas Dynamics', unique in the literature, presents working knowledge, theory, techniques, and typical phenomena in rarefied gases for theoretical development and application.

Basic theory is developed in a systematic way and presented in a form easily applied for practical use. After presenting various simple flows, such as unidirectional or quasi-unidirectional flows, and flows around a sphere, the author discusses additional topics, including: flows induced by temperature fields, which are typical in rarefied gases, flows with evaporation and condensation, bifurcation of flows in rarefied gases, the ghost effect in gases in the continuum limit.

The book is useful for those working in different communities where kinetic theory or fluid dynamics is important: graduate students, researchers, and practitioners in theoretical physics, applied mathematics, and various branches of engineering. The work may be used as a self-study reference or as a textbook in graduate-level courses in fluid dynamics, gas dynamics, kinetic theory, molecular or rarefied gas dynamics, microflows, and applied mathematics.
Molecular Gas Dynamics originates from lectures and seminars delivered by the author at various universities and institutions worldwide. These materials are supplemented and arranged in a form appropriate to a graduate textbook on molecular gas dynamics, or gas dynamics on the basis of kinetic theory. The book provides an up-to-date description of the basic theory of molecular gas dynamics and its various applications giving interesting and important gas - namic phenomena. The progress of molecular gas dynamics in the last forty years has greatly enhanced the contents of the basic theory and provided inf- mation on various interesting and important gas dynamic problems. This has made it possible to compile a new graduate textbook on molecular gas dyn- ics. The present book re?ects these developments providing working knowledge: theory,techniques,andtypicalphenomenainarare?edgas(low-densityand- cro ?ows), for future theoretical development and applications. The book begins with a brief presentation of the fundamental properties of the Boltzmann equation and a summary of notation used globally in subsequent chapters of the book. A full explanation of the fundamental properties is given in Appendix A. The author hopes that readers of various backgrounds can proceed quickly to the main subject, with reference to Appendix A if necessary.

Rezensionen
From the reviews:

"This is a comprehensive and self-contained text giving an overview of gas dynamics on the basis of kinetic theory in the tradition of asymptotic analysis as pursued by the author and his collaborators...[T]he treatment is lucid and self-contained, with masterfully chosen and executed expansions that do not usually find their way into textbooks...Throughout the whole book, the presentation is illustrated with numerical graphs and tables based on widely varying numerical methods chosen with regard to the respective problems. Clarifying footnotes are generously provided, useful both for the beginner and for the experienced user. An added bonus is accurate and up-to-date surveys of the mathematical status of the various problems together with an in-depth bibliography. This impressive monograph...will become a convenient and lasting reference in the area." -Transport Theory and Statistical Physics

"In this book the author presents a good review of the theory and the modeling of molecular gas dynamics, together with applications, based on his work with his collaborators. This book is a good reference for researchers interested in applications to kinetic theory and fluid dynamics." -Mathematical Reviews

"The monograph provides a comprehensive and self-contained overview of gas dynamics based on the kinetic theory. ... The presentation is supplemented with illustrations and tables demonstrating the numerical methods suitable for the respective problems. An up-to-date survey of the current status of research in the various areas is given together with an extensive bibliography. The book can serve as a self-study reference or as a textbook." (Jan Stebel, Applications of Mathematics, Vol. 56, 2011)
