Advances in Hypersonics


Book Description

These three volumes entitled Advances in Hypersonics contain the Proceedings of the Second and Third Joint US/Europe Short Course in Hypersonics which took place in Colorado Springs and Aachen. The Second Course was organized at the US Air Force Academy, USA in January 1989 and the Third Course at Aachen, Germany in October 1990. The main idea of these Courses was to present to chemists, com puter scientists, engineers, experimentalists, mathematicians, and physicists state of the art lectures in scientific and technical dis ciplines including mathematical modeling, computational methods, and experimental measurements necessary to define the aerothermo dynamic environments for space vehicles such as the US Orbiter or the European Hermes flying at hypersonic speeds. The subjects can be grouped into the following areas: Phys ical environments, configuration requirements, propulsion systems (including airbreathing systems), experimental methods for external and internal flow, theoretical and numerical methods. Since hyper sonic flight requires highly integrated systems, the Short Courses not only aimed to give in-depth analysis of hypersonic research and technology but also tried to broaden the view of attendees to give them the ability to understand the complex problem of hypersonic flight. Most of the participants in the Short Courses prepared a docu ment based on their presentation for reproduction in the three vol umes. Some authors spent considerable time and energy going well beyond their oral presentation to provide a quality assessment of the state of the art in their area of expertise as of 1989 and 1991.




Rarefied Gas Dynamics


Book Description

This book describes the most recent international research in the field of rarefied gas dynamics (RGD). Unique in the depth and scope of its presentation, it considers progress made in the treatment of non-equilibrium phenomena in such fields as aerospace, vacuum technology, isotope separation and gas dynamic lasers. Due to the broad range of RGD applications, the volume will appeal to readers from numerous fields (e.g. physics, engineering, mathematics, chemistry).

Computational Science - ICCS 2007


Book Description

Annotation The four-volume set LNCS 4487-4490 constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Computational Science, ICCS 2007, held in Beijing, China in May 2007. More than 2400 submissions were made to the main conference and its 35 topical workshops. The 80 revised full papers and 11 revised short papers of the main track were carefully reviewed and selected from 360 submissions and are presented together with 624 accepted workshop papers in four volumes. According to the ICCS 2007 theme "Advancing Science and Society through Computation" the papers cover a large volume of topics in computational science and related areas, from multiscale physics, to wireless networks, and from graph theory to tools for program development. The papers are arranged in topical sections on efficient data management, parallel monte carlo algorithms, simulation of multiphysics multiscale systems, dynamic data driven application systems, computer graphics and geometric modeling, computer algebra systems, computational chemistry, computational approaches and techniques in bioinformatics, computational finance and business intelligence, geocomputation, high-level parallel programming, networks theory and applications, collective intelligence for semantic and knowledge grid, collaborative and cooperative environments, tools for program development and analysis in CS, intelligent agents in computing systems, CS in software engineering, computational linguistics in HCI, internet computing in science and engineering, workflow systems in e-science, graph theoretic algorithms and applications in cs, teaching CS, high performance data mining, mining text, semi-structured, Web, or multimedia data, computational methods in energy economics, risk analysis, advances in computational geomechanics and geophysics, meta-synthesis and complex systems, scientific computing in electronics engineering, wireless and mobile systems, high performance networked media and services, evolution toward next generation internet, real time systems and adaptive applications, evolutionary algorithms and evolvable systems.
