Techniques of scientific computing for the energy and environment

Frederic Magoules1600219217, 9781600219214

Research and development in scientific computing and computational science has considerably increased the power of numerical simulation. Engineers and researchers are now able to solve large and complex problems which were impossible to solve in the past. This new book presents some techniques, methods and algorithms for solving engineering problems arising in energy and environment applications.
