„However, for practitioners this book can give an insight intophysical phenomena of wave propagation in fluids.“ (ZentralblattMATH, 2011)
This second edition with four additional chapters presents thephysical principles and solution techniques for transientpropagation in fluid mechanics and hydraulics. The applicationdomains vary including contaminant transport with or withoutsorption, the motion of immiscible hydrocarbons in aquifers, pipetransients, open channel and shallow water flow, and compressiblegas dynamics.
The mathematical formulation is covered from the angle ofconservation laws, with an emphasis on multidimensional problemsand discontinuous flows, such as steep fronts and shock waves.
Finite difference-, finite volume- and finite element-basednumerical methods (including discontinuous Galerkin techniques) arecovered and applied to various physical fields. Additional chaptersinclude the treatment of geometric source terms, as well as directand adjoint sensitivity modeling for hyperbolic conservation laws. A concluding chapter is devoted to practical recommendations to themodeler.
Application exercises with on-line solutions are proposed at theend of the chapters.
