Über diesen Titel

Críticas

From the reviews:

"Kinetic models can be used to describe the behaviour of gases and fluids in applications ... . The structure is different from a classical book, as it is actually a collection of scientific papers. ... it is recommended primarily for mathematicians with a high interest in physics, or for theoretical physicists, both of which at least at graduate level, but for those who understand the presented ideas, it might be a highly valuable tool or an inspiration for further research." (Simon Seichter, Simulation News Europe, Vol. 16 (1), 2006)

Reseña del editor

In recent years kinetic theory has developed in many areas of the physical sciences and engineering, and has extended the borders of its traditional fields of application. This monograph is a self-contained presentation of such recently developed aspects of kinetic theory, as well as a comprehensive account of the fundamentals of the theory. Emphasizing modeling techniques and numerical methods, the book provides a unified treatment of kinetic equations not found in more focused works. Specific applications presented include plasma kinetic models, traffic flow models, granular media models, and coagulation-fragmentation problems. The work may be used for self-study, as a reference text, or in graduate-level courses in kinetic theory and its applications.
