商品描述

This book is exceptional in providing an up-to-date, but compact, introduction to the field of hydrodynamics and fluid dynamics that is both sufficiently comprehensive and easy to read. It covers all the elements of compressible and incompressible fluid dynamics, from the basic concepts through to the constituent equations and their applications. Fluid flows in different environments are thoroughly discussed, and specific aspects such as dissipation, turbulence, shock waves, and blast waves receive detailed attention. The book contains many exercises and draws attention to numerical solutions to specific problems. The book is ideal for undergraduate and graduate students and young researchers in physics, astrophysics, mathematics (pure and applied), and engineering. As this book is intended for a wide audience, the mathematical prerequisites are kept to a low level.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

這本書在提供最新且簡潔的流體力學和流體動力學領域介紹方面非常出色,既具有足夠的全面性又易於閱讀。它涵蓋了可壓縮和不可壓縮流體動力學的所有要素,從基本概念到構成方程式及其應用。書中詳細討論了不同環境中的流體流動,並對耗散、湍流、衝擊波和爆炸波等特定方面進行了詳細闡述。書中包含許多練習題,並引起讀者對特定問題的數值解的注意。這本書非常適合物理學、天體物理學、數學(純粹和應用)和工程學的本科生、研究生和年輕研究人員閱讀。由於這本書面向廣泛的讀者群,數學先備知識要求較低。

作者簡介

Roberto A. Capuzzo Dolcetta has been working for 40 years in the field of Physics and Theoretical Astrophysics. Presently, he is a professor at Sapienza, University of Roma, where he currently teaches Fluid Dynamics for Astrophysics and Theoretical Astrophysics. He also has long experience in teaching Gravitational Physics and Theoretical Mechanics at both undergraduate and graduate levels. In addition, he has taught in the USA, delivering, for instance, the undergraduate course on Extragalactic Astronomy and Cosmology at the University of Washington and Seattle and presenting lectures for graduate students at Boston University. He has several scientific and didactic collaborations with, among the others, the Universities of Heidelberg (DE), of Leiden (NL), and of Prague (CZ). Since May 2010, he has been a scientific reviewer for ISCRA (Italian Super Computing Research Allocation) at CINECA and leader of the panel of Universe Science of the Access Committee of PRACE (the European infrastructure for supercomputing). His research activity is mainly theoretical, in the field of stellar clusters, both galactic and extragalactic. He is an expert in sophisticated numerical methods to deal with large self-gravitating N-body systems also embedded in gaseous cluds. He has obtained important results concerning the evolution and dynamics of the globular cluster systems in galaxies and proposed a new explanation for mass accretion and activity of galactic nuclei, including interpretation of the peculiar dynamics of stars around the Galactic supermassive black hole. He is the author of more than 240 scientific papers in international journals.

Roberto A. Capuzzo Dolcetta在物理學和理論天體物理學領域已經工作了40年。目前,他是羅馬大學Sapienza的教授,目前教授天體物理學和理論天體物理學的流體動力學課程。他在本科和研究生課程中也有長期教授重力物理學和理論力學的經驗。此外,他曾在美國教授課程,例如在華盛頓大學和西雅圖大學教授有關星系外天文學和宇宙學的本科課程,並在波士頓大學為研究生學生進行講座。他與海德堡大學(德國)、萊頓大學(荷蘭)和布拉格大學(捷克)等多所大學有多個科學和教學合作項目。自2010年5月以來,他一直是CINECA的ISCRA(意大利超級計算研究分配)的科學審查員,並且是PRACE(歐洲超級計算基礎設施)訪問委員會宇宙科學小組的負責人。他的研究活動主要是理論性的,涉及星團的演化和動力學,包括銀河系和星系外的星團。他是處理大型自引力N體系統的專家,並且在氣體雲中嵌入了複雜的數值方法。他在銀河系中球狀星團系統的演化和動力學方面取得了重要成果,並提出了關於星系核心質量吸積和活動的新解釋,包括對銀河系超大質量黑洞周圍恆星奇特動力學的解釋。他是國際期刊上240多篇科學論文的作者。
