Integral Transforms in Computational Heat and Fluid Flow

<p>Integral Transforms in Computational Heat and Fluid Flow is a comprehensive volume that emphasizes the generalized integral transform technique (G.I.T.T.) and the developments that have made the technique a powerful computational tool of practical interest. The book progressively demonstrates the approach through increasingly difficult extensions and test problems. It begins with an overview of the generalized integral transform technique in contrast with classical analytical ideas.<br>Various applications are presented throughout the book, including transient fin analysis with time-dependent surface dissipation, laminar forced convection inside externally finned tubes, metals oxidation at high temperatures, forced convection in liquid metals, and Navier-Stokes equations.</p> Introduction. The Classical Integral Transform Technique. Systems of Ordinary Differential Equations. Problems with Variable Equation Coefficients. Problems with Variable Boundary Condition Coefficients. Problems with Variable Boundaries. Problems that Involve Difficult Auxilliary Problems. An Introduction to the Solution of Nonlinear Diffusion-Convection Problems. References. Appendices: Notes. Alternative Solution of Nonhomogeneous Problems. Integral Transform Method for Eigenvalue Problems.
