The Kinematics of Mixing: Stretching, Chaos, and Transport (Cambridge Texts in Applied Mathematics, Series Number 3) 1st Edition by J. M. Ottino (PDF)

Description

Professor Ottino presents a unified and systematic account of the kinematics of mixing fluids. He suggests that fluid mixing be regarded, in some respects, as the efficent stretching and folding of material lines and surfaces. This corresponds to analyzing a particular type of dynamical system, and Ottino explores the connection. The work is heavily illustrated with line diagrams, and black-and-white and color plates. The graphics aid the reader in developing a more systematic and intuitive picture, complementing the scientific presentation given in the text itself.

User’s Reviews

Editorial Reviews: Review “…succeeds admirably in conveying the author’s perspective on mixing and its relationship to a wider range of topics in flow analysis. Kinematics of Mixing: Stretching, Chaos, and Transport is highly recommended as a reference for researchers interested in the dynamics of complex flow fields.” Applied Mechanics Review”…this book has a number of unique and attractive features. The contents of the book constitute a trove of information that will be relished by the student of mixing. At this stage, the book must be considered as required reading for academic and industrial researchers in all disciplines involved with fluid mixing.” R.E. Rosenweig, AIChE Journal”The book presents an up-to-date state of the art in this field, and, what is essential, is self-contained; it includes all necessary educational material at a suitable level of rigour. This makes the book suitable for a wide spectrum of readers, from specialists in chemical engineering to students of continuum mechanics….After reading this book many researchers will be stimulated to work out ways of applying these tools to their own problems….The book should be recommended to a wide audience of researchers, teachers and students.” G. I. Barenblatt, Journal of Fluid Mechanics”…a well-organized and thorough treatment of a subject of substantial current research interest. It would be a good text for a specialized graduate course on the kinematic approach to mixing (probably in Chemical Engineering departments, where most of the research in this area occurs), or to bring new workers in the field up to speed.” John de Bruyn, Physics in Canada Book Description This is the first book to present a unified treatment of the mixing of fluids from a kinematical viewpoint.

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐A solid treatise on the concepts and mathematics of mixing, chaos and chaotic advection. Very suited for chemical engineers who are accustomed to the partial differential equations used in Transport Phenomena. Others may find the math challenging but the text is quite readable as to the concepts and aplications underlying these complicated phenomena.

⭐Anyone who is interested in mixing and dynamical systems should spend some time with this book. I think Ottino invented some of his own notation, which makes this book a bit difficult for me, but it’s still a very worthwhile endeavor.

⭐Guter Austausch mit dem Verkäufer. Buch in tadellosem Zustand. Sehr zufrieden!
