Mathematical Models of Convection

Phenomena of convection are abundant in nature as well as in industry. This volume addresses the subject of convection from the point of view of both theory and application. While the first three chapters provide a refresher on fluid dynamics and heat transfer theory, the rest of the book describes the modern developments in theory. Thus it brings the reader to the "front" of the modern research. The theoretical foundation on a topic relevant to metallurgy, ecology, meteorology, geo-and astrophysics, aerospace industry, chemistry, crystal physics and many other fields.
