A new theoretical model is proved useful in describing, with acceptable accuracy, problems of strong evaporation and condensation. The book is the first to treat the problem of asymmetry for...

Just when classic subject areas seem understood, the author, a Caltech, M.I.T. and Boeing trained aerodynamicist, raises profound questions over traditional formulations.  Can shear flows be rigorously modeled using simpler “potential-like” methods versus Euler equation approaches?  Why not solve aerodynamic...
