    Reactive flows, diffusion and transport
    • Reactive flows, diffusion and transport

      • 676 pages
      • 24 hours of reading

      The articles in this volume summarize the research results obtained in the former SFB 359 "Reactive Flow, Diffusion and Transport" which has been supported by the DFG over the period 1993-2004. The main subjects are physical-chemical processes sharing the difficulty of interacting diffusion, transport and reaction which cannot be considered separately. The modeling and simulation within this book is accompanied by experiments.

      Reactive flows, diffusion and transport
    • Efficient transfer between science and society is crucial for their future development. The rapid progress of information technology and computer systems offers a large potential and new perspectives for solving complex problems. Mathematical modelling and simulation have become important tools not only in scientific investigations but also in analysing, planning and controlling technological and economic processes. Mathematics, imbedded in an interdisciplinary concept, has become a key technology.The book covers the results of a variety of major projects in industrial mathematics following an initiative of the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research. All projects are collaborations of industrial companies and university-based researchers, and range from automotive industry to computer technology and medical visualisation. In general, the projects presented in this volume prove that new mathematical ideas and methods can be decisive for the solution of industrial and economic problems.

      Mathematics - key technology for the future
    • Ein gelungenes Beispiel für eine lebendige Zusammenarbeit mit unterschiedlichen Disziplinen wird mit der Restauration dieses wichtigen Kulturguts veranschaulicht: Das Heidelberger Exemplar eines Vaugondy Globus von 1751 hat eine wechselvolle Geschichte und wurde in jüngster Zeit mit hochmodernen Methoden aufwendig restauriert. Historische Quellen über die Art der Herstellung von Globen wurden ebenso zu Rate gezogen wie moderne mathematische Verfahren aus der Bildverarbeitung, mit denen die digitalisierte Weltkarte gefiltert wurde. In der Auseinandersetzung mit historischen Aspekten gelang darüber hinaus ein Einblick in die Bedeutung von Globen und das Entstehen eines neuen Weltbildes im 18. Jahrhundert, das mit den wissenschaftlichen Akademien einherging.
