Jets From Young Stars III: Numerical MHD and Instabilities (Lecture Notes in Physics) (Bk. 3)

Jets From Young Stars III: Numerical MHD and Instabilities (Lecture Notes in Physics) (Bk. 3), 9783540769668 (3540769668), Springer, 2008

This volume contains the lecture notes of the Third JETSET School on Jets from Young Stars focussing on Numerical MHD and Instabilities. The introductory lectures presented here cover the basic concepts of the numerical methods for the integration of hydrodynamic and magnetohydrodynamic equations and of the applications of these methods to the treatment of the instabilities relevant for the physics of stellar jets. The first part of the book contains an introduction to the finite difference and finite volume methods for computing the solutions of hyperbolic partial differential equations and a discussion of approximate Riemann solvers for both hydrodynamic and magnetohydrodynamic problems. The second part is devoted to the discussion of some of the main instability processes that may take place in stellar jets, namely: the Kelvin-Helmholtz, the radiative shock, the pressure driven and the thermal instabilities.

Graduate students and young scientists will benefit from this book by learning how to use the fundamental tools used in computational astrophysical jet research.

A Lighter Footprint: A Practical Guide to Minimising Your Impact on the Planet

Scribe Publications, 2009

I believe that global warming is the biggest issue facing humanity today – it represents a far greater threat than terrorism, fundamentalism, or nuclear war. I am not alone in this belief. Scientists and many policymakers agree that the global population must reduce greenhouse gas emissions by at least 60 per cent...

Database Design (Mcgraw Hill Computer Science Series)

McGraw-Hill, 1983

The material in this book is the result of courses given at Stanford University as “File and Database Structures” since 1971. Initially little coherent published material was available, even though a large number of references could be cited.

In particular, no clear definition of the concept of a schema was available. Now...

Fear of Math: How to Get Over It and Get on With Your Life!

Rutgers University Press, 1994

This book has a vast potential audience. It is addressed to all of you who have negative feelings about mathematics, whatever the reasons. My main motive for writing this book is to show you that you are not to blame for those negative feelings. Most likely you are a victim of the many conditions in our society that bring about fear and...
