Designing the Bayous: The Control of Water in the Atchafalaya Basin, 1800-1995
ISBN: 9781585443758 / Angielski / Miękka / 496 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Louisiana's Atchafalaya River Basin is one of the most dynamic and critical environments in the country. It sustains the nation's last cypress-tupelo wetland and provides a habitat for many species of animals. Endowed with natural gas and oil fields, the basin also supports a large commercial fisheries industry. Perhaps most crucial, it remains a primary component of the plan to control the Mississippi River and relieve flooding in New Orleans, Baton Rouge, and other communities in the lower river valley. The continuing health of the basin is a reflection not of nature, but of the work of the...

The Least-Squares Finite Element Method: Theory and Applications in Computational Fluid Dynamics and Electromagnetics
ISBN: 9783540639343 / Angielski / Twarda / 418 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Here is a comprehensive introduction to the least-squares finite element method (LSFEM) for numerical solution of PDEs. It covers the theory for first-order systems, particularly the div-curl and the div-curl-grad system. Then LSFEM is applied systematically to permissible boundary conditions for the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations, to show that the divergence equations in the Maxwell equations are not redundant, and to derive equivalent second-order versions of the Navier-Stokes equations and the Maxwell equations. LSFEM is simple, efficient and robust, and can solve a wide range of...
