He provides a tutorial on the basic workings of pension law, reviews the recent history that led to the worsening condition of the pension insurance system, and suggests a range of reforms to improve the system's operation and to resolve the projected shortfall.Hoover Institution Press publication ;597.PensionsUnited StatesOld age pensionsUnited StatesCompensation managementUnited StatesPensionsOld age pensionsCompensation management331.25/20973Blahous Charles P.1963-1525262MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910786346103321Pension wise3766529UNINA03999nam 22007695 450 991036660010332120200703012301.09789813298200981329820010.1007/978-981-32-9820-0(CKB)4100000009076185(DE-He213)978-981-32-9820-0(MiAaPQ)EBC5940704(PPN)242822673(MiAaPQ)EBC31886909(Au-PeEL)EBL31886909(OCoLC)1124608273(EXLCZ)99410000000907618520190824d2020 u| 0engurnn|008mamaatxtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierComputational Fluid Dynamics for Built and Natural Environments /by Zhiqiang (John) Zhai1st ed. 2020.Singapore :Springer Singapore :Imprint: Springer,2020.1 online resource (IX, 263 p. 149 illus., 85 illus. in color.) 9789813298194 9813298197 Introduce CFD -- Model Real Problems -- Select Equations to Be Solved -- Select Turbulence Modeling Method -- Select Numerical Methods -- Specify Boundary Conditions -- Generate Grid -- Solve Case -- Analyze Results -- Write CFD Report.This book introduces readers to the fundamentals of simulating and analyzing built and natural environments using the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) method. CFD offers a powerful tool for dealing with various scientific and engineering problems and is widely used in diverse industries. This book focuses on the most important aspects of applying CFD to the study of urban, buildings, and indoor and outdoor environments. Following the logical procedure used to prepare a CFD simulation, the book covers e.g. the governing equations, boundary conditions, numerical methods, modeling of different fluid flows, and various turbulence models. Furthermore, it demonstrates how CFD can be applied to solve a range of engineering problems, providing detailed hands-on exercises on air and water flow, heat transfer, and pollution dispersion problems that typically arise in the study of buildings and environments. The book also includes practical guidance on analyzing and reporting CFD results, as well as writing CFD reports/papers.Fluid mechanicsCivil engineeringFluidsThermodynamicsHeat engineeringHeatTransmissionMass transferPollutionEngineering Fluid Dynamicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T15044Civil Engineeringhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T23004Fluid- and Aerodynamicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P21026Engineering Thermodynamics, Heat and Mass Transferhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T14000Pollution, generalhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U35000Fluid mechanics.Civil engineering.Fluids.Thermodynamics.Heat engineering.HeatTransmission.Mass transfer.Pollution.Engineering Fluid Dynamics.Civil Engineering.Fluid- and Aerodynamics.Engineering Thermodynamics, Heat and Mass Transfer.Pollution, general.620.1064Zhai Zhiqiang (John)authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1064582MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910366600103321Computational Fluid Dynamics for Built and Natural Environments2539293UNINA
