Opis

Gas discharges are of interest for many processes in mechanics, manufacturing, materials science and aerophysics. To understand the physics behind the phenomena is of key importance for the effective use and development of gas discharge devices. This worktreats methods of computational modeling of electrodischarge processes and dynamics of partially ionized gases. These methods are necessary to tackleproblems of physical mechanics, physics of gas discharges and aerophysics.Particular attention is given to a solution of two-dimensional problems of physical mechanics of glow discharges.The use ofglow discharges in aerospace technology is discussed as well."

Recenzje

"This is a comprehensive book on mathematical modeling and numerical procedures of physical processes in gas discharge configurations that will prove useful for both professionals and graduate level students in the field." Zentralblatt für Mathematik
