Since it was first used to model nuclear detonation during WWII, computer-based numerical simulation has become a vital tool to enable scientists and engineers to describe and simulate the behaviour of complex systems. The scope of numerical simulation has increased over the years as computer technology has become more advanced, although some systems are still too complex to be modelled with today's levels of computing power.
This book describes some examples of current applications for numerical simulation, including the prevention of accidental detonation in explosives, optimizing the stability of thermal and hydro power plants, and the design and improvement of electronic devices based on zinc oxide or organic semiconductors. Other applications discussed in the book include fisheries science, chemical and process engineering, aerospace, polymer science, biomedicine, civil engineering, mining, oil and gas production, ceramics, nuclear engineering and water resource management. An entire section will focus on computational fluid dynamics and the simulation of liquid flow in a range of industrial and manufacturing processes.
Given the broad scope of applications discussed in this book, we believe that it will interest engineers and researchers across a range of disciplines, who will find it to be a highly useful summary of current thinking in this important area.
