From the reviews of the first edition: "For those who want to compute flows at the micro scale, this monograph is a must …Those who wonder what new fluid dynamics there is in the microworld are served by the overview of theory and treasures of numerical methods." --EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF MECHANICS B / FLUIDS

This monograph focusing on gas flows addresses mostly theoretical issues and develops semi-analytical models as well as numerical methods for stimulating micro flows. It is appropriate for researchers in fluid mechanics interested in this new flow field as well as for electrical or mechanical engineers or physicists who need to incorporate flow modeling into their work.
