Molecular Gas Dynamics: Theory, Techniques, and Applications

di Yoshio Sone (Autore)

Birkhauser Boston Inc, 2006

Molecular Gas Dynamics originates from lectures and seminars delivered by the author at various universities and institutions worldwide. These materials are supplemented and arranged in a form appropriate to a graduate textbook on molecular gas dynamics, or gas dynamics on the basis of kinetic theory. The book provides an up-to-date description of the basic theory of molecular gas dynamics and its various applications giving interesting and important gas - namic phenomena. The progress of molecular gas dynamics in the last forty years has greatly enhanced the contents of the basic theory and provided inf- mation on various interesting and important gas dynamic problems. This has made it possible to compile a new graduate textbook on molecular gas dyn- ics. The present book re?ects these developments providing working knowledge: theory,techniques,andtypicalphenomenainarare?edgas(low-densityand- cro ?ows), for future theoretical development and applications. The book begins with a brief presentation of the fundamental properties of the Boltzmann equation and a summary of notation used globally in subsequent chapters of the book. A full explanation of the fundamental properties is given in Appendix A. The author hopes that readers of various backgrounds can proceed quickly to the main subject, with reference to Appendix A if necessary.
