This book is devoted to mathematical modeling of tokamak plasma. Experiments on plasma heating with the help of neutral beams and high-frequency (HF) waves on previous generation devices made it possible to obtain high-P plasmas.

In this step-by-step guide to numerical simulations of complex transport phenomena, now in an updated second edition, the authors provide an in-depth presentation of modern FCT algorithms as well as the range of criteria underlying their design.

This book provides a step-by-step introduction to the least squares resolution of nonlinear inverse problems. For readers interested in projection of non-convex sets, it also presents the geometric theory of quasi-convex and strictly quasi-convex sets.

This complementary text provides detailed solutions for the problems that appear in Chapters 2 to 18 of Computational Techniques for Fluid Dynamics (CTFD), Second Edition.

From the reviews: "A unique feature of this book is the nice blend of engineering vividness and mathematical rigour. [...] The authors are to be congratulated for their valuable contribution to the literature in the area of theoretical thermoelasticity and vibration of plates." Journal of Sound and Vibration

When Herb Keller suggested, more than two years ago, that we update our lectures held at the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research in 1977, and then have it published in the collection Springer Series in Computational Physics, we thought, at first, that it would be an easy task.

In the second part of the book they construct numerical methods for solving complicated problems for partial differential equations occurring in practical applications, both linear and nonlinear.

This is the first monograph on the subject, providing a comprehensive introduction to the LSFEM method for numerical solution of PDEs. LSFEM is simple, efficient and robust, and can solve a wide range of problems in fluid dynamics and electromagnetics.

First concise textbook on Large-Eddy Simulation, a very important method in scientific computing and engineeringFrom the foreword to the third edition written by Charles Meneveau: "...

The purpose and organisation of this book are described in the preface to the first edition (1988). I would like to take this opportunity to thank the many readers for their usually generous comments about the first edition and particularly those readers who went to the trouble of drawing specific errors to my attention.

This well-known 2-volume textbook provides senior undergraduate and postgraduate engineers, scientists and applied mathematicians with the specific techniques, and the framework to develop skills in using the techniques in the various branches of computational fluid dynamics. A solutions manual to the exercises is in preparation.

From the reviews of the first edition: "This book is directed to graduate students and research workers interested in the numerical solution of problems of fluid dynamics, primarily those arising in high speed flow.
