Real Gas Flows with High Velocities
US Coast Guard, USA
Vladimir Lunev
“… written by professionals for professionals…”
Moscow Physical & Technical University, Russia
— Peter C. Gasson CEng, MIMechE, FRAe, in The Aeronautical Journal
Corrosion control in the aerospace industry is an issue that has always been important, but is becoming more so with the aging of the aircraft fleet. Corrosion can lead to aircraft becoming unusable, and in extreme cases, catastrophic failure. The first part of this important book reviews aging aircraft and the cost of corrosion. It goes on to discuss corrosion fundamentals and examine corrosion monitoring, evaluation, and prediction. A final section analyzes methods of corrosion protection and prevention.
Authored by one of Russia’s most respected aerospace researchers, this book covers real gas flows with regard to the physical and gasdynamic effects that accompany high-velocity flight in air or other atmospheres. In particular, it discusses the re-entry of bodies into the atmosphere of the earth and other planets. Chapters devoted to these problems are preceded by the presentation of the general theory of supersonic—and to some extent subsonic—flow, which is necessary for the comprehension of high-velocity gasdynamics from the overall methodological point of view.

“… recommended to CFD practitioners at the early stage of their academic career… to understand the vast literature in the field and to apply the relevant numerical techniques.” —Zentralblatt MATH
Compared to the traditional modeling of computational fluid dynamics, direct numerical simulation (DNS) and large-eddy simulation (LES) provide a very detailed solution of the flow field by offering enhanced capability in predicting the unsteady features of the flow field. In many cases, DNS can obtain results that are impossible using any other means, and LES can be employed as an advanced tool for practical applications. This book covers basic techniques for DNS and LES that can be applied to practical problems of flow, turbulence, and combustion. Exploring the vast amount of literature in the field, it explains how to apply relevant numerical techniques for practical computational fluid dynamics simulations and implement these methods in fluid dynamics computer programs. Features • Presents numerical methods for compressible and incompressible three-dimensional flows, such as high-order discretization schemes, high-fidelity boundary conditions, and coupling aspects • Gives sample numerical simulation results that exemplify the practical application of the methods • Discusses advanced topics and current challenges, including detached eddy simulation, SGS modeling, and multiscale flow simulations • Includes sample FORTRAN programs in the appendix to illustrate the implementation of finite difference numerical schemes Catalog no.

Taking into account the thermal interaction between a body and fluid flowing over or through it, the conjugate heat transfer (CHT) problem is a key consideration in both mechanical and aerospace engineering. Assembling select information from hundreds of publications, and presenting more than 100 solutions of non-isothermal and CHT problems, this book reconsiders the approximate solutions of conjugate convective heat transfer problems as addressed in both earlier and more recent works. It discusses theory and modern modeling methods and illustrates these complex mathematical problems by presenting current applications in machinery operation and technological processes.
With contributions from a team of renowned international researchers who cover both fundamentals and applications, this volume provides a definitive treatment of the numerical simulation of bioheat transfer and fluid flow. It covers novel modeling techniques and numerical simulation for solving problems in biomedical engineering. The book presents various forms of the bioheat equation appropriate for several thermal therapies, such as laser irradiation. It also discusses tumor detection and treatment, shows how nanoparticles can be used to improve the efficacy of tumor treatment, and includes a detailed case study describing the thermal ablation of an enlarged prostate.

Practical Reliability Engineering and Analysis for System Design and Life-Cycle Sustainment William Wessels University of Alabama, Huntsville, USA
Structured in stand-alone sections, designed specifically for practicing engineers, this book addresses specific reliability and maintainability analysis methods for part design, systems integration and life-cycle sustainment. Unlike many books on this subject, it departs from the nearly exclusive use of the exponential probability distribution to characterize failure and demonstrates other probability distributions that more accurately describe the true behavior of failure. It emphasizes failure that results from wear-out over the useful life of the part. The engineering, rather than mathematical or statistical approach, sets this book a part.

Combining introductory and intermediate dynamics subject matter, the latest edition of this popular volume makes a difficult subject understandable. It covers dynamics essentials, including the development of models for dynamics and vibrations, and their subsequent analysis. It treats dynamics as a continuous evolution of motion using differential equations rather than algebrabased mathematics. Examples demonstrate the development of general modeling and analysis approaches for particle and rigid-body motion in planar motion. Recognizing the importance of computer usage and modeling in engineering and in dynamics, multiple MATLAB® computer example problems and tools are presented to help students master the subject.
Presenting the general framework of configurational forces, this book supplies an approach to material forces that can be used to predict the propagation of defects in materials ranging from dislocations and cracks in metals to domain walls in ferromagnets and many industrial components. It discusses a wide range of varied applications, including elasticity, plasticity, fracture, physics, and even biomechanics. Including numerous problems and examples, the author addresses such topics as field theory, canonical thermomechanics of complex continua, generalized continua, Eshelby stress, systems with mass exchange, electromagnetic materials, and numerical applications.

Tribology of Interface Layers Hooshang Heshmat Mohawk Innovative Technology, Inc., Albany, New York, USA
Many tribological devices act as viable bearings in contrast to basic hydrodynamic theory. Similarly, powder films possess quasi-hydrodynamic features that enable them to act as conventional fluid film bearings. These phenomena have led to a novel definition of lubricants as intermediate layers, which are detailed in this book. It illustrates that the various lubrication modes, from dry to hydrodynamic to powder lubrication, overlap to such a degree that they exist on a tribological spectrum. Based on experimental and theoretical work, this text shows how the interdependence of powder and hydrodynamic lubrication exemplify this continuum in tribological processes. Catalog no.
