Numerical Analysis for Applied Science
(Written for graduate students in applied mathematics, eng...)
Written for graduate students in applied mathematics, engineering and science courses, the purpose of this book is to present topics in "Numerical Analysis" and "Numerical Methods." It will combine the material of both these areas as well as special topics in modern applications. Included at the end of each chapter are a variety of theoretical and computational exercises.

Multiphase Flow in Porous Media : Mechanics
(The past decade has seen remarkable growth in research re...)
The past decade has seen remarkable growth in research related to petroleum reseIVoir simulation. This growth reflects several developments, not the least of which is the increased interest in oil recovery technologies requiring sophisticated engineer ing. Augmenting this interest has been the broader availability of supercomputers capable of handling the tremendous computational demands of a typical reseIVoir simulator. The field of reseIVoir simulation incorporates several major facets of applied mathematics. First, in view of the varieyt and complexity of the processes encoun tered, it is imperative that the modeler adopt a systematic approach to establishing the equations governing reseIVoir flows. Second, the mathematical structure of these flow equations needs to be carefully analyzed in order to develop appropriate and efficient numerical methods for their solution. Third, since some aspects of the discretized flow equations are typically stiff, one must develop efficient schemes for solving large sparse systems of linear equations. This monograph has three parts, each devoted to one of these three aspects of reseIVoir modeling. The text grew out of a set of lectures presented by the authors in the autumn of 1986 at the IBM Scientific Center in Bergen, Norway. We feel that it is only appropriate to caution the reader that many of the ideas that we present in this monograph do not reflect standard approaches in petroleum reseIVoir simulation. In fact, our aim is to outline promising new ways of attacking reseIVoir simulation prob lems, rather than to compile another textbook for the mainstream."

Numerical Modeling in Science and Engineering
(An unified approach to numerical modeling, integrating as...)
An unified approach to numerical modeling, integrating aspects of continuum mechanics, differential equations, and numerical analysis. Explains how to formulate a mathematical description of the phenomena under consideration, devise techniques for solving the governing equations, then refine the model and interpret the results. Emphasizes physical applications and relates the three major classes of partial differential equations -- elliptic, parabolic, and hyperbolic -- to steady-state systems, dissipative systems, and nondissipative systems, respectively. Also examines some higher-order equations, nonlinear equations, and coupled systems of equations.
