Rarefied Gas Dynamics : From Basic Concepts to Actual Calculations Paperback / softback
by Carlo (Politecnico di Milano) Cercignani
Part of the Cambridge Texts in Applied Mathematics series
Paperback / softback
Description
This book presents the concepts, methods and applications of kinetic theory to rarefied gas dynamics.
After introducing the basic tools, problems in plane geometry are treated using approximation techniques (perturbation and numerical methods).
These same techniques are later used to deal with two- and three-dimensional problems.
The models include not only monatomic but also polyatomic gases, mixtures, chemical reactions.
A special chapter is devoted to evaporation and condensation phenomena.
Each section is accompanied by problems which are mainly intended to demonstrate the use of the material in the text and to outline additional subjects, results and equations.
This will help ensure that the book can be used for a range of graduate courses in aerospace engineering or applied mathematics.
