Synopsis

This book is especially aimed at engineers and scientists who have 'real world' problems that need a mathematical approach.

About the Author

Jos van Kan (1944) graduated in 1968 from Delft University of Technology, Delft, Netherlands, in Numerical Analysis and has been assistant professor at the Department of Mathematics of that institute ever since. He wrote several articles on Numerical Fuid Mechanics (pressure correction methods) and has written a multigrid pressure solver for the Delft software package to solve the Navier Stokes equations. He has been teaching classes in Numerical Analysis since 1971 and wrote several books on the subject. Guus Segal (1948) graduated in 1971 from Delft University of Technology, Delft, Netherlands, in Numerical Analysis and has been part time assistant professor at the Department of Mathematics of that institute ever since. He is also working in the consultancy and numerical software company SEPRA in Den Haag, The Netherlands. He wrote a number of articles on Finite Element Methods and several articles on curvilinear Finite Volume Methods and Numerical Fluid Mechanics. He has written a book on Finite Element Methods and Navier-Stokes equations. He is the main developer of the finite element package SEPRAN. He has been teaching classes in Numerical Analysis since 1973. Fred Vermolen (1969) graduated in 1993 from Delft University of Technology, Delft, Netherlands. He wrote his PhD-thesis supervised by the promotores prof Pieter Wesseling (Numerical Analysis) and prof Sybrand van der Zwaag (Materials Science). He wrote several articles on Stefan problems and transport in porous media. His present interest is in mathematical issues in medicine. He has been teaching courses in Numerical Analysis since 2002.
