Modeling and Applied Mathematics Modeling the behavior of real physical systems by suitable evolution equa- tions is a relevant, maybe the fundamental, aspect of the interactions be- tween mathematics and applied sciences. Modeling is, however, only the first step toward the mathematical description and simulation of systems belonging to real world. Indeed, once the evolution equation is proposed, one has to deal with mathematical problems and develop suitable simula- tions to provide the description of the real system according to the model. Within this framework, one has an evolution...

The goal of this is book to give a detailed presentation of multicomponent flow models and to investigate the mathematical structure and properties of the resulting system of partial differential equations. These developments are also illustrated by simulating numerically a typical laminar flame. Our aim in the chapters is to treat the general situation of multicomponent flows, taking into account complex chemistry and detailed transport phe- nomena. In this book, we have adopted an interdisciplinary approach that en- compasses a physical, mathematical, and numerical point of view. In par-...

Despite the fact that fluid dynamics and filtration through porous media and mathematics, there are classical research areas in engineering, physics, are still many industrial processes that require the study of new mathemat- ical models for flows of particular complexity, due to the peculiar properties of the systems involved. The aim of this book is to provide a number of examples showing how frequently such situations arise in various branches of industrial technology. The selection of the subjects was motivated not only by their industrial rel- evance and mathematical interest. What I had...

Many interesting behaviors of real physical, biological, economical, and chemical systems can be described by ordinary differential equations (ODEs). Scientific Computing with Mathematica(R) provides a general framework useful for the applications on the conceptual aspects of the theory of ODEs, as well as a sophisticated use of Mathematica(R) software for the solutions of problems related to ODEs. In particular, a chapter is devoted to the use of ODEs and Mathematica(R) in the dynamics of rigid bodies.

Mathematical methods and scientific computation are...
