Synopsis
Scaling (power-type) laws reveal the fundamental property of the phenomena--self similarity. Self-similar (scaling) phenomena repeat themselves in time and/or space. The property of self-similarity simplifies substantially the mathematical modeling of phenomena and its analysis--experimental, analytical and computational. The book begins from a non-traditional exposition of dimensional analysis, physical similarity theory and general theory of scaling phenomena. Classical examples of scaling phenomena are presented. It is demonstrated that scaling comes on a stage when the influence of fine details of initial and/or boundary conditions disappeared but the system is still far from ultimate equilibrium state (intermediate asymptotics). It is explained why the dimensional analysis as a rule is insufficient for establishing self-similarity and constructing scaling variables. Important examples of scaling phenomena for which the dimensional analysis is insufficient (self-similarities of the second kind) are presented and discussed. A close connection of intermediate asymptotics and self-similarities of the second kind with a fundamental concept of theoretical physics, the renormalization group, is explained and discussed. Numerous examples from various fields--from theoretical biology to fracture mechanics, turbulence, flame propagation, flow in porous strata, atmospheric and oceanic phenomena are presented for which the ideas of scaling, intermediate asymptotics, self-similarity and renormalization group were of decisive value in modeling., This book begins from a non-traditional exposition of dimensional analysis, physical similarity theory and general theory of scaling phenomena, using classical examples to demonstrate that the onset of scaling is not until the influence of initial and/or boundary conditions has disappeared but when the system is still far from equilibrium., Scaling laws reveal the fundamental property of phenomena, namely self-similarity - repeating in time and/or space - which substantially simplifies the mathematical modelling of the phenomena themselves. This book begins from a non-traditional exposition of dimensional analysis, physical similarity theory, and general theory of scaling phenomena, using classical examples to demonstrate that the onset of scaling is not until the influence of initial and/or boundary conditions has disappeared but when the system is still far from equilibrium. Numerous examples from a diverse range of fields, including theoretical biology, fracture mechanics, atmospheric and oceanic phenomena, and flame propagation, are presented for which the ideas of scaling, intermediate asymptotics, self-similarity, and renormalisation were of decisive value in modelling., This book deals with a non-traditional exposition of dimensional analysis, physical similarity theory and general theory of scaling phenomena.

- r***d (25)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseItem exactly as described and exactly like the pictures shown. It was shipped very quickly and packaged well. The book was wrapped carefully in bubble wrap and arrived in great condition. I am very pleased with my purchase and would use this seller again. The value was great and shipping was at a fair rate. All in all a great experience.
- l***6 (44)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseIncredible buying experience! Item was packaged securely and shipped faster than I could have ever imagined. Tape arrived in exactly the condition described, I was so pleased with the condition of it and definitely impressed with the value of the item. Simply the best buying experience one could have!! Would definitely recommend this seller to anyone and trust with purchases in the future!
- 9***_ (186)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseThe item arrived early and had been packed with great care. I worried that for the great low price- at least $10 less than other sellers- that I was buying a “dud.” I have been MORE than pleased with this purchase and can highly recommend this seller. I had gotten an IP at a Goodwill store for $12.99, and realized soon after why it had been donated. It leaked all the steam before it finished cooking and would be bone dry when it was opened. This new lid saved buying a whole new IP. TY!
