Description
A survey book providing an authoritative and comprehensive
presentation of Boltzmann models (i.e., nonlinear kinetic theory) and
computational methods.
This new survey book provides a comprehensive and authoritative
presentation of current methods and applications for Boltzmann models
and computational methods. Selected applications address topics in
complex fluid flows, geophysical problems, communications, and
biochemical processes.
The book is an essential resource for all scientists and engineers who
use large-scale computations for studying the dynamics of complex
Reviews / Votes
".The contributions and the references listed at the end of each chapter seem to give an excellent overview of current research."
