Description for Hyperbolic Conservation Laws in Continuum Physics
Paperback. This presentation of the theory of hyperbolic conservation laws illustrates the essential role of continuum thermodynamics in providing motivation and direction for the development of the mathematical theory. Series: Die Grundlehren der Mathematischen Wissenschaften. Num Pages: 745 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PBKJ; PHH. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 235 x 155 x 37. Weight in Grams: 1110.
The aim of this work is to present a broad overview of the theory of hyperbolic c- servation laws, with emphasis on its genetic relation to classical continuum physics. It was originally published a decade ago, and a second, revised edition appeared in 2005. It is a testament to the vitality of the ?eld that in order to keep up with - cent developments it has become necessary to prepare a substantially expanded and updated new edition. A new chapter has been added, recounting the exciting recent developmentsin classical open problems in compressible ?uid ?ow. Still another - dition is ... Read more
