SINGULARITIES FORMATION STRUCTURE AND PROPAGATION | by J. Eggers | M. A. Fontelos | ‎ CP CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY PRESS | ‎ English | ‎ 1st Edition

Product description Review 'The book will serve as an excellent introduction to the field of singularities in continuum mechanics, and a valuable resource for researchers … In short, a wonderful achievement!' H. K. Moffatt, Journal of Fluid Mechanics Book Description This book explores a wide range of singular phenomena, providing mathematical tools for understanding them and highlighting their common features. About the Author J. Eggers is Professor of Applied Mathematics at the University of Bristol. His career has been devoted to the understanding of self-similar phenomena, and he has more than fifteen years of experience in teaching non-linear and scaling phenomena to undergraduate and postgraduate students. Eggers has made fundamental contributions to our mathematical understanding of free-surface flows, in particular the break-up and coalescence of drops. His work was instrumental in establishing the study of singularities as a research field in applied mathematics and in fluid mechanics. He is a member of the Academy of Arts and Sciences in Erfurt, Germany, a fellow of the American Physical Society, and has recently been made a Euromech Fellow.M. A. Fontelos is a researcher in applied mathematics at the Spanish Research Council (CSIC). His scientific work has focused on partial differential equations and their applications to fluid mechanics, with special emphasis on the study of singularities and free-surface flows. His main results concern the formation of singularities (or not) combining the use of rigorous mathematical results with asymptotic and numerical methods. Read more
