Theory of Multicomponent Fluids (Applied Mathematical Sciences, Vol. 135)

Rating:
Summary: Beyond the mundane
Review: This is perhaps the very first time multi-fluid modelling was given such a rigous theoretical analysis. It brings what was known as phenomenological and engineering approaches to the level of a scientific subject being operated with mathematical apparatus and opening new windows to examine problems of hyperbolicity, ill-posedness of the model and addressing multi-scale complexity in two-phase flows. It is useful book to have for anyone who want to capture the essence of multiphase flows and attempt to approach it as a scientific matter, either computationally or experimentally.
