Description
Summary:"Most of the book deals with the mathematical analysis of explosions, but computational results also are included wherever available. Historical perspectives are provided on the advent of nonlinear science, as well as the mathematical study of the blast wave phenomenon, both when visualized as a point explosion and when simulated as the expansion of a high-pressure gas."--Jacket
