Description for Heat Waves
Paperback. This book is devoted to an account of theories of heat conduction where the temperature may travel as a wave with a finite speed. It surveys many of the theories which have been proposed as candidates to describe thermal motion as a wave. Series: Applied Mathematical Sciences. Num Pages: 330 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PBW; PHD; PHDF; PHH. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 18. Weight in Grams: 510.
This book surveys significant modern contributions to the mathematical theories of generalized heat wave equations. The first three chapters form a comprehensive survey of most modern contributions also describing in detail the mathematical properties of each model. Acceleration waves and shock waves are the focus in the next two chapters. Numerical techniques, continuous data dependence, and spatial stability of the solution in a cylinder, feature prominently among other topics treated in the following two chapters. The final two chapters are devoted to a description of selected applications and the corresponding formation of mathematical models. Illustrations are taken from a broad ... Read more

Reviews for Heat Waves
From the reviews: The purpose of the present book ... is to discuss from both physical and mathematical viewpoints the various proposals of generalization of Fourier's conduction law as to render the heat propagation equation in some hyperbolic form. ... this book, with its rich references and rigorous mathematics, provides an invaluable synthesis on the subject ...
