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.

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.

The second half of the book covers the treatment of a variety of steady flow problems, including effects of both viscosity and compressibi lity, by the Method of Integral Relations, Telenin's Method, and the Method of Lines.

The treatment of the approximation of gas dynamic equations focuses on the question of how to characterize the typical features of difference equations on the basis of the related differential approximation, which can be discussed using the fully developed theory of partial differential equations.

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.

Contains unique recent developments of various finite elements such as nonconforming, mixed, discontinuous, characteristic, and adaptive finite elements, along with their applications.

This is a fully revised and updated second edition of the introduction to structured and unstructured grid methods in scientific computing. It formulates basic local and integral grid quality measures and reviews fresh approaches to mesh generation.

This book addresses stochastic optimization procedures in a broad manner. Written primarily with scientists and students from the physical and engineering sciences in mind, this book addresses a larger community of all who wish to learn about stochastic optimization techniques and how to use them.

This book addresses both the fundamentals and the practical industrial applications of Large Eddy Simulation (LES) in order to bridge the gap between LES research and the growing need to use it in engineering modeling.
