Weighted Residual Methods (eBook)

Weighted Residual Methods: Principles, Modifications and Applications introduces a range of WRMs, providing examples that show how they can be used to solve complex engineering problems with greater accuracy and computational efficiency. Examples focus on non-linear problems, including the motion of a spherical particle, nanofluid flow and heat transfer, magnetohydrodynamic flow and heat transfer, and micropolar fluid flow and heat transfer. These are important factors in understanding processes, such as filtration, combustion, air and water pollution and micro contamination. In addition to the applications, the reader is provided with full derivations of equations and summaries of important field research. - Includes the basic code for each method, giving readers a head start in using WRMs for computational modeling - Provides full derivations of important governing equations in a number of emerging fields of study - Offers numerous, detailed examples of a range of applications in heat transfer, nanotechnology, medicine, and more

Mohammad Hatami is a Mechanical Engineering Associate Professor at Esfarayen University of Technology, Esfarayen, North Khorasan, Iran. He also was an associate professor at Ferdowsi University of Mashhad, and was selected as a young talent associate professor at Xi'an Jiaotong University. He completed his Ph.D. in energy conversion at Babol University of Technology whilst working as a Ph.D. visiting scholar researcher at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) in the Netherlands. Dr. Hatami was previously a post-doctoral researcher at the State Key Laboratory of Multiphase Flow in Power Engineering, Xi'an Jiaotong University, in China. He has published more than 200 research papers and 10 books/chapter books in the field of experimental, mathematical and numerical modelling of nanofluids, heat recovery and acts as editor-in-chief of the Quarterly Journal of Mechanical Engineering and Innovation in Technology, Associate Editor of Fluid Dynamic & Material Processing, and an Editor for the International Journal of Mechanical Engineering (IJME), American Journal of Modelling and Optimization, and American Journal of Mechanical Engineering.
