Models of Particles and Moving Media by Donald A. Dunn (Hardcover)

Description: Models of Particles and Moving MediaDonald A. DunnISBN: 0122242505Academic Press 1971 This book provides a foundation for understanding the literature in those fields of electrodynamics in which directed motion of either free charges or conducting media occurs. Electric motors and generators, electron tubes, particle accelerators, and ion propulsion engines are some of the devices for which simplified models are developed and analyzed. The author builds on elementary electromagnetic theory by proceeding step-by-step from moving frames of reference in Newtonian mechanics through the Lorentz transformation and waves in moving bulk media to accelerated motion of single particles and many-particle and continuous fluid models. Emphasis throughout is on the precise definition of mathematical models of physical systems, the process of model building, and the connection between the analysis of these models and physical experiments. Offering one of the first unified introductions to computer simulation of plasmas and electron beams using the Lagrangian discrete-particle approach, this volume will be of interest to students and workers in electrical engineering and physics. This book will be carefully wrapped in heavy paper, then bubble wrap, then be fitted snugly with a waterproof wrapper inside a heavy-duty cardboard box to protect it during shipment.
