Overview
- Provides novel techniques for solving complex non -linear and partial differential equations, previously only available to scientists involved in classified government funded projects
- Goes beyond the traditional Pi Theorem method to apply dimensional analysis to gas dynamics and thermal hydraulics, in addition to both laminar and turbulent fluids
- Includes specific examples demonstrating how dimensional analysis can shed light on applications from shock wave impact prediction to plasma confinement
- Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras

About this book
This ground-breaking reference provides an overview of key concepts in dimensional analysis, and then pushes well beyond traditional applications in fluid mechanics to demonstrate how powerful this tool can be in solving complex problems across many diverse fields. Of particular interest is the book’s coverage of dimensional analysis and self-similarity methods in nuclear and energy engineering. Numerous practical examples of dimensional problems are presented throughout, allowing readers to link the book’s theoretical explanations and step-by-step mathematical solutions to practical implementations.
