Computational Methods for Free and Moving Boundary Problems in Heat and Fluid Flow

Booknews

The mathematical modeling of free and moving boundary problems is characterized by the presence of one or more surfaces which are initially unknown or move throughout the analysis. Examples of practical engineering problems are cavitating flows, solidification and melting, and metal casting. Chapters discuss boundary elements and optimization techniques, multisplitting and domain decomposition, modeling of nonlinear wave motion in shallow water, viscous free surface flows, stream meanders, freezing of food, thermoelectrical modeling of aluminum electrolytic cells, and isotherm migration methods.
