Micro Flows Fundamentals and Simulation

This monograph focusing on gas flows addresses mostly theoretical issues and develops semi-analytical models as well as numerical methods for stimulating micro flows. It is appropriate for researchers in fluid mechanics interested in this new flow field as well as for electrical or mechanical engineers or physicists who need to incorporate flow modeling into their work.From the reviews:"For those who want to compute flows at the micro scale, this monograph is a must. It describes the state of the art and helps by providing coefficients, such as [are] needed in situations of slip. Those who wonder what new fluid dynamics there is in the microworld are served by the overview of theory and treasures of numerical methods."?EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF MECHANICS B / FLUIDSKarniadakis, George E. is the author of 'Micro Flows Fundamentals and Simulation' with ISBN 9780387953243 and ISBN 0387953248.
