It exploits the full potential of the dimensionless  representation of these models by considering the special nature of  the characteristic dimensionless quantities. It can be argued that  these dimensionless quantities mostly assume extreme values,  particularly for practical parameter settings. Thus, otherwise  complicated models can be rendered far less complex and the numerical  effort to solve them is greatly reduced. \u003cbr\u003e  In this book the effectiveness of Practical Asymptotics is  demonstrated by fifteen papers devoted to widely differing fields of  applied science, such as glass-bottle production, semiconductors,  surface-tension-driven flows, microwaving joining, heat generation in  foodstuff production, chemical-clock reactions, low-Mach-number flows,  to name a few. \u003cbr\u003e  A strong plea is made for making asymptotics teaching an integral part  of any numerics curriculum. Not only will asymptotics reduce the  computational effort, it also provides a fuller understanding of the  underlying problems.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2001-04-30\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792369202\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-010-0698-9\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 279cm x210cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 385\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44341234696332,"sku":"9780792369202","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792369202.jpg?v=1775758429","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780792369202","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
