Synopsis

Considerable development of numerical methods for computer modeling of flow and heat transfer phenomena has occurred during recent years. The handling of arbitrary geometries, various physical phenomena and turbulent flow haeve all developed to such an extent that reliable and accurate predictions can be achieved for many problems of engineering and industrial relevance.

This edited book presents recent progress and current status of principles, limitations and opportunities in modeling flow and various heat transfer phenomena with engineering relevance. Analysis, finite element method, boundary element method, and lumped formulations are demonstrated for thermal analysis in casting processes, microelectronic equipment, phase change, inverse heat transfer, laser-induced melting, heat pipes, and bubble nucleation. Contributors are world-renowned.
