This book offers a comprehensive and timely report of size-dependent continuum mechanics approaches. Written by scientists with worldwide reputation and established expertise, it covers the most recent findings, advanced theoretical developments and computational techniques, as well as a range of applications, in the field of nonlocal continuum mechanics. Chapters are concerned with lattice-based nonlocal models, Eringen’s nonlocal models, gradient theories of elasticity, strain- and stress-driven nonlocal models, and peridynamic theory, among other topics. This book provides...

How planets form is one of the long-standing questions in astrophysics. In particular, formation scenarios of planetesimals which are kilometer-sized bodies and a precursor of planets are still unclear and under debate although some promising mechanisms have been proposed.

This book highlight disk instabilities that have the potential to explain the origin of planetesimals. Using linear analyses and numerical simulations, it addresses how a disk evolves through the development of instabilities, and also presents a new instability driven by dust coagulation. As a result, the...

This book, based on a selection of invited presentations from a topical workshop, focusses on time-variable oscillations and their interactions. The problem is challenging, because the origin of the time variability is usually unknown. In mathematical terms, the oscillations are non-autonomous, reflecting the physics of open systems where the function of each oscillator is affected by its environment.  Time-frequency analysis being essential, recent advances in this area, including wavelet phase coherence analysis and nonlinear mode decomposition, are discussed. Some applications to...

This book constructs a non-Bloch band theory and studies physics described by non-Hermitian Hamiltonian in terms of the theory proposed here.

In non-Hermitian crystals, the author introduces the non-Bloch band theory which produces an energy spectrum in the limit of a large system size. The energy spectrum is then calculated from a generalized Brillouin zone for a complex Bloch wave number. While a generalized Brillouin zone becomes a unit circle on a complex plane in Hermitian systems, it becomes a circle with cusps in non-Hermitian systems. Such unique features of the generalized...

This book contains select invited chapters on the latest research in numerical fluid dynamics and applications. The book aims at discussing the state-of-the-art developments and improvements in numerical fluid dynamics. All the chapters are presented for approximating and simulating how these methods and computations interact with different topics such as shock waves, non-equilibrium single and two-phase flows, elastic human-airway, and global climate. In addition to the fundamental research involving novel types of mathematical sciences, the book presents theoretical and numerical...

Das Buch behandelt die für das Optimum verfahrenstechnischer Prozesse unerlässliche System-Betrachtung. Diese sollte nicht nur für den "reinen" Prozess erfolgen, sondern für den gesamten Lebenszyklus technischer Anlagen - vom Entwurf eines Prozesses bis zur Optimierung im laufenden Betrieb. Dabei kommt es nicht nur auf den Normalbetrieb an (wie häufig bei Simulationen betrachtet), sondern auch auf An- und Abfahrprozesse, das Havarie-/Störungsverhalten der Prozesse, die Reinigungsabläufe, Sicherheitsmaßnahmen usw.  

Geeignete Analyse- und Betrachtungsmethoden werden dazu...
