Download or read book Modelling and Numerics of Kinetic Dissipative Systems written by Lorenzo Pareschi and published by Nova Publishers. This book was released on 2006 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book is divided into three parts, which contain respectively recent results in the kinetic theory of granular gases, kinetic theory of chemically reacting gases, and numerical methods for kinetic systems. Part I is devoted to theoretical aspects of granular gases. Part II presents recent results on modelling of kinetic systems in which molecules can undergo binary collisions in presence of chemical reactions and/or in presence of quantum effects. Part III contains several contributions related to the construction of suitable numerical methods and simulations for granular gases.
