Simulation and Modelling in Materials Processing

This book shows techniques used for the analysis of difficult engineering problems such as fluid flow, heat transfer, solidification and plasticity and more. The primary focus is on numerical methods necessary for the analysis of real and complex problems. Numerical techniques--finite differences, control volume and finite element methods are discussed. The bookcan be an introduction for the solution of advanced problems or used in project or problem-based learning. Engineers working in the field will find its encyclopedic organization a useful reference.
