Advances in Fluid-Structure Interaction
Updated contributions reflecting new findings presented at the ERCOFTAC Symposium on Unsteady Separation in Fluid-Structure Interaction, 17-21 June 2013, St John Resort, Mykonos, Greece
Language: English
Release Date: April 7, 2016
This book addresses flow separation within the context of fluid-structure interaction phenomena. Here, new findings from two research communities focusing on fluids and structures are brought together, emphasizing the importance of a unified multidisciplinary approach. The book covers the theory,...
Practical Bayesian Inference
A Primer for Physical Scientists
Language: English
Release Date: April 27, 2017
Science is fundamentally about learning from data, and doing so in the presence of uncertainty. This volume is an introduction to the major concepts of probability and statistics, and the computational tools for analysing and interpreting data. It describes the Bayesian approach, and explains how...

The Zamolodchikov c-theorem has led to important new insights in the understanding of the Renormalisation Group (RG) and the geometry of the space of QFTs. The present primer introduces and reviews the parallel developments of the search for a higher-dimensional generalisation of the c-theorem and...

This book defines sets of orthogonal polynomials and derives a number of properties satisfied by any such set. It continues by describing the classical orthogonal polynomials and the additional properties they have.
The first chapter defines the orthogonality condition for two functions. It...
Feynman's Operational Calculus and Beyond
Noncommutativity and Time-Ordering
Language: English
Release Date: August 6, 2015
This book is aimed at providing a coherent, essentially self-contained, rigorous and comprehensive abstract theory of Feynman's operational calculus for noncommuting operators. Although it is inspired by Feynman's original heuristic suggestions and time-ordering rules in his seminal 1951 paper An...

Making use of the laws of physical transactions, we study symmetrical many-points systems. Relation of group-theory to physical transactions in such symmetrical systems is dealt with. Studying perturbations in the stability states in the attractor-maps for transactions, approximate values of the observables...

Simple Brownian Diffusion
An Introduction to the Standard Theoretical Models
Language: English
Release Date: October 18, 2012
Brownian diffusion is the motion of one or more solute molecules in a sea of very many, much smaller solvent molecules. Its importance today owes mainly to cellular chemistry, since Brownian diffusion is one of the ways in which key reactant molecules move about inside a living cell. This book focuses...

An Introduction to Riemannian Geometry
With Applications to Mechanics and Relativity
Language: English
Release Date: July 26, 2014
Unlike many other texts on differential geometry, this textbook also offers interesting applications to geometric mechanics and general relativity.
The first part is a concise and self-contained introduction to the basics of manifolds, differential forms, metrics and curvature. The second part...
