E-Book Overview
Understanding the causes and effects of explosions is important to experts in a broad range of disciplines, including the military, industrial and environmental research, aeronautic engineering, and applied mathematics. While offering an introductory review of historic research, Shock Waves & Explosions brings analytic and computational methods to a wide audience in a clear and thorough way. Beginning with an overview of the research on combustion and gas dynamics by Korobeinikov and Zeldovich in the 1970s and 80s, the author brings readers up to date by covering modeling techniques and asymptotic and perturbative methods and ending with a chapter on computational methods.
