Description

A SPECTER is haunting the scientific world-the specter of com­ puters.

All the powers of traditional science have entered into a holy alliance to exorcise this specter: puristic theoreticians and tradition­ alistic experimentalists, editors and referees of prestigious journals, philosophers of science and mathematicians.

Where is a pioneering computer simulation that has not been decried as unreliable by its opponents in power?

The Computer Manifesto As a result of the enormous progress in computer technology made during the last few decades, computer simulations have become a very powerful and widely applicable tool in science and engineering.

The main purpose of this . book is a comprehensive description of the background and possibilities for the application of computer simulation techniques in polymer fluid dynamics.

Mod­ eling and understanding the flow behavior of polymeric liquids on the kinetic theory level is not merely a great intellectual challenge but rather a matter of immense practical importance, for example, in connection with plastics manu­ facture, processing of foods, and movement of biological fluids.

The classical computer simulation technique for static problems in statis­ tical mechanics is the Monte Carlo method developed in the early 1950s.

The name of this method underlines how unusual and strange the idea of using ran­ dom numbers in the exact sciences is at first glance.

However, the Monte Carlo method is a rigorous and efficient means for evaluating moments and static spa­ tial correlation functions for given probability distributions.
