This book is a substantially revised edition of the author's earlier volume of the same title. It presents convection studies in a variety of fluid and porous media contexts, and will be accessible to a wide audience of applied mathematicians, physicists, and engineers.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
From the reviews of the second edition:
"This application-oriented book is a revised edition . more definitions, new interpretations and new results are included, some chapters are enlarged, 6 chapters are added. . the presentation is very clear, making the book useful to undergraduate and graduate students in applied mathematics too. . The main text and the very rich list of references reflect the interests and results of the author and his collaborators. The book makes a good contribution to the literature on stability of fluid flows . ." (Adelina Georgescu, Mathematical Reviews, 2004i)
