Fluid Properties at Nano/Meso Scale: A Numerical Treatment
About this ebook
Fluid Properties at Nano/Meso Scale is based on the authors’ past five years’ research that has yielded new innovations in fluid simulation strategies at the nano/meso scale. The authors approach this subject in a straightforward and easy to understand format, providing a first step into the subject for researchers at all levels. They present new tools that allow the numerical computation of fluid properties from first principles, enabling the reader to begin to model successfully fluids at nano/meso scale. It is hoped that these first steps will engender the further development and advancement of simulation techniques at this scale, and keep engineering simulation at the cutting edge of technology.
- Presents internationally leading developments in the field of fluid properties at nano/meso scale
- Provides the reader with the first steps to fluid modelling at nano/meso-scales as well as state-of-the-art applications
- Includes innovative and new simulation techniques along with a detailed examination of existing numerical methods
About the author
Dr Peter Dyson, School of Engineering, Swansea University, Swansea
Peter Dyson gained his PhD from the University of Swansea. His thesis 'Numerical Computation of Fluid Properties at NanoIMeso, has opened up new areas in meso scale fluid simulation allowing the investigation of flow regimes and the characterization of bulk fluid properties from first principles. An EPSRC proposal to extend this work had been submitted and is currently under review.
Dr Rajesh Ransing, Senior Lecturer, School of Engineering, Swansea University, Swansea
Dr Ransing is an executive committee member, of the Natural Computing Applications Forum (NCAF). He is an Editorial Board Member of International Joumal of Numerical Methods for Heat and Fluid Flow Journal and has had numerous guest editor roles and awards for papers. He is an organizer of many conference workshops, and has been asked to be a guest speaker at many conferences also. His research with NCAF has resulted in global patents, which are being accepted in many countries. The University has created a spin out company to exploit this research and UK's only Casting Trade Association - Cast Metal Federation along with other consortium members is actively supporting this research initiative.
