Cavitation and Bubble Dynamics deals with the fundamental physical processes of bubble dynamics and the phenomenon of cavitation. It is ideal for graduate students and research engineers and scientists, and a basic knowledge of fluid flow and heat transfer is assumed. The analytical methods presented are developed from basic principles. The book begins with a chapter on nucleation and describes both the theory and observations in flowing and non-flowing systems. Three chapters provide a systematic treatment of the dynamics and growth, collapse, or oscillation of individual bubbles in otherwise quiescent fluids. The following chapters summarise the motion of bubbles in liquids, describe some of the phenomena that occur in homogeneous bubbly flows, with emphasis on cloud cavitation, and summarise some of the experimental observations of cavitating flows. The last chapter provides a review of free streamline methods used to treat separated cavity flows with large attached cavities.

Das Buch führt den Ingenieur in die Anwendung von Optimierungsmethoden auf dynamische Systeme ein. Es geht dabei um den Entwurf optimaler Steuerungen und Regelungen. Mathematische Strenge ist nicht angestrebt, wohl aber ein Verständnis der Methodik, das über die bloße Anwendung gegebener Formeln hinausgeht. Deshalb werden die Begriffe und Methoden vor dem Hintergrund realer dynamischer Systeme motiviert und plausibel gemacht. Um dem Leser den Zugang zu dem theoretisch anspruchsvollen Gebiet der Optimierung zu erleichtern, beschränkt sich die Darstellung auf die für die Anwendung wesentlichen Gesichtspunkte, bringt diese aber ausführlich und anhand illustrativer Beispiele. An Vorkenntnissen sind lediglich mathematische und regelungstechnische Grundkenntnisse erforderlich.

Primary events in natural systems or devices occur on extremely short time scales, and yet determine in many cases the final performance or output. For this reason research in ultrafast science is of primary importance and impact in both fundamental research as well as its applications. This book reviews the advances in the field, addressing timely and open questions such as the role of quantum coherence in biology, the role of excess energy in electron injection at photovoltaic interfaces or the dynamics in quantum confined structures (e.g. multi carrier generation). The approach is that of a

Presents all-new laboratory-tested theory for calculating more accurate ionized electric fields to aid in designing high-voltage devices and its components Understanding and accurately calculating corona originated electric fields are important issues for scientists who are involved in electromagnetic and electrostatic studies. High-voltage dc lines and equipment, in particular, can generate ion flows that can give rise to environmental inconveniences. Filamentary Ion Flow: Theory and Experiments provides interdisciplinary theoretical arguments to attain a final.
