Continuum methods of physical modeling : continuum mechanics, dimensional analysis, turbulence /

Show other versions (1)

The authors give an introduction into continuum thermomechanics, the methods of dimensional analysis and turbulence modeling. All these themes belong today to the everyday working method of not only environmental physicists but equally also those engineers, who are confronted with continuous systems...
