Particle Dynamics with Aggregation and Fragmentation

Release Date: 2025-04-16
Particle dynamics with aggregation and fragmentation occurs in almost every branch of science and engineering. Examples include the formation of stars and planets in astrophysics, the formation of colloids and polymers in chemistry, the formation of raindrops and snowflakes in meteorology, the formation of fuel sprays in mechanical engineering, impact damage to aircraft and satellites in aerospace engineering, and drilling and blasting in civil and mining engineering. This is one of the first textbooks to give particle dynamics with aggregation and fragmentation a full treatment, putting it on an equal footing with fluid dynamics and solid mechanics. To help readers understand the connections to fluid dynamics, this book shows how particle dynamics occurs in ideal gases, granular gases, and fluid turbulence. Instead of relying on empirical results that apply only under specific circumstances, the book uses broad physical principles such as conservation of mass, momentum, and energy. The text draws on rigorous mathematical theory and modern high-performance computing, while avoiding the complex details. The book also provides extensive references for those readers who need them. While intended for a graduate level audience, the book is written in a graphically-rich style which will be accessible to advanced undergraduates. In particular, it includes over 100 figures and over 200 examples, most of which are placed into grey boxes to avoid interrupting the main text. While surveying the relevant research literature, this book also draws on the author's unique insights into particle aggregation and fragmentation, gained from participating in relevant research and development activities in industry and academia for over 25 years.
Nonlinear Dynamics and Chaos: Advances and Perspectives
This book is a collection of papers contributed by some of the greatest names in the areas of chaos and nonlinear dynamics. Each paper examines a research topic at the frontier of the area of dynamical systems. As well as reviewing recent results, each paper also discusses the future perspectives of each topic. The result is an invaluable snapshot of the state of the ?eld by some of the most important researchers in the area. The ?rst contribution in this book (the section entitled “How did you get into Chaos?”) is actually not a paper, but a collection of personal accounts by a number of participants of the conference held in Aberdeen in September 2007 to honour Celso Grebogi’s 60th birthday. At the instigation of James Yorke, many of the most well-known scientists in the area agreed to share their tales on how they got involved in chaos during a celebratory dinner in Celso’s honour during the conference. This was recorded in video, we felt that these accounts were a valuable historic document for the ?eld. So we decided to transcribe it and include it here as the ?rst section of the book.
