New trends in fluid and solid models : proceedings of the international conference in honour of Brian Straughan, Vietri sul Mare (SA), Italy, 28 February-1 March 2008

"The Proceedings of the 1st Conference on New Trends in Fluid and Solid Models" provide an overview of results and new models in fluid dynamics and, in general, in continuum mechanics. The contributions refer in particular to models in continuum mechanics, phase transitions, qualitative analysis for ODEs or PDEs models, Stability in fluids and solids, wave propagation, discontinuity and shock waves, and numerical simulations. Presents an overview of results and models in fluid dynamics and continuum mechanics. This title refers to models in continuum mechanics, phase transitions, qualitative analysis for ODEs or PDEs models, stability in fluids and solids, wave propagation, discontinuity and shock waves, and numerical simulations.
