Unified Non-Local Theory of Transport Processes - 2nd Edition by Boris V Alexeev (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

Unified Non-Local Theory of Transport Processess, 2^nd Edition provides a new theory of transport processes in gases, plasmas and liquids. It is shown that the well-known Boltzmann equation, which is the basis of the classical kinetic theory, is incorrect in the definite sense. Additional terms need to be added leading to a dramatic change in transport theory. The result is a strict theory of turbulence and the possibility to calculate turbulent flows from the first principles of physics.

Review Quotes

"...contains a lot of illustrations and calculations supplied with the detailed discussions of the used approximations, their precision, parameters, etc. It is especially important within the first part of the book, where the method is introduced since these items allow for studying of the topic by newcomers." --Zentralblatt MATH
