Mathematical and Experimental Modeling of Physical and Biological Processes [With CDROM]

By Harvey Thomas Banks and H.T. Tran

Book Overview

This book discusses mathematical modeling in the context of case study problems that arise in industry and government laboratories. It covers thermal imaging and detection, dynamic properties of beams, acoustics and fluid transport, and size-structured population dynamics for marine populations. The text explains physical and biological relationships and mechanisms through a principles-based fundamental modeling approach. It also emphasizes model validation through specific laboratory experiments as well as data collection and analysis. Real experimental data for projects can be downloaded from CRC Press Online.
