This critical volume stands as a remedy for the lack of available material on scale modeling and as an essential resource for many university courses, both graduate and undergraduate. Progress in Scale Modeling, Volume 2 builds on the success the first edition as the definitive source of information on this powerful simplifying and clarifying tool used by scientists and engineers across many disciplines. The book s diverse slate of authors help readers see the forest, when there are many, many trees by elucidating techniques used when it would be too expensive, or too difficult, to test a system of interest in the field. Topics addressed in the current edition include scale modeling to study weather systems, diffusion of pollution in air or water, chemical process in 3-D turbulent flow, multiphase combustion, flame propagation, biological systems, behavior of materials at nano- and micro-scales, and many more.
