Relativistic Fluid Dynamics In and Out of Equilibrium: And Applications to Relativistic Nuclear Collisions (Cambridge Monographs on Mathematical Physics)

Relativistic Fluid Dynamics In and Out of Equilibrium: And Applications to Relativistic Nuclear Collisions (Cambridge Monographs on Mathematical Physics), 9781108483681 (1108483682), Cambridge University Press, 2019

The past decade has seen unprecedented developments in the understanding of relativistic fluid dynamics in and out of equilibrium, with connections to astrophysics, cosmology, string theory, quantum information, nuclear physics and condensed matter physics. Romatschke and Romatschke offer a powerful new framework for fluid dynamics, exploring its connections to kinetic theory, gauge/gravity duality and thermal quantum field theory. Numerical algorithms to solve the equations of motion of relativistic dissipative fluid dynamics as well as applications to various systems are discussed. In particular, the book contains a comprehensive review of the theory background necessary to apply fluid dynamics to simulate relativistic nuclear collisions, including comparisons of fluid simulation results to experimental data for relativistic lead-lead, proton-lead and proton-proton collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The book is an excellent resource for students and researchers working in nuclear physics, astrophysics, cosmology, quantum many-body systems and string theory.

Java Programming Fundamentals: Problem Solving Through Object Oriented Analysis and Design

CRC Press, 2008

Programming is an art. Although traditional art imitates life, programming simulates life. Every abstract concept in programming, and to a great extent in the fi eld of computer science, has its roots in our daily life. For example, humans and possibly all other living forms were multiprocessing long before the term entered into...
