Sommario/riassunto |
|
Having only emerged in the past few decades, Feminist Philosophy is rapidly developing its own thrust in areas of particular importance to feminism-and women more generally-while also reevaluating and reshaping most other fields of philosophy, from ethics to logic and Marxism to environmentalism. It draws not only on feminist philosophers but criticizes, approves, or appropriates the work of the leading philosophers of all times. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
This book, 'The Finite Element Method for Fluid Dynamics', authored by Olek C. Zienkiewicz, Robert L. Taylor, and P. Nithiarasu, provides a comprehensive exploration of the finite element method as applied to fluid dynamics. The text covers fundamental equations of fluid dynamics, numerical methods, and advanced topics such as |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
convection-dominated problems, turbulence modeling, compressible flows, and porous media. It is designed to serve as both a theoretical and practical guide, incorporating the latest developments in the field. The book is intended for researchers, practitioners, and graduate-level students in engineering and computational sciences, aiming to enhance understanding and application of finite element techniques in solving complex fluid dynamic problems. |
