Proceedings of a symposium to honor Henry Philibert Caspard Darcy, held in conjunction with the 2003 World Water and Environmental Resources Congress in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, June 23-26, 2003. Sponsored by the Surface Water Hydrology Committee and the History and Heritage Committee of the Environmental and Water Resources Institute of ASCE. This collection contains 20 peer-reviewed papers discussing the contributions of Henry P.G. Darcy (1803-1858) and other pioneers in hydraulic history. Although best-known for developing Darcy's Law and the Darcy-Weisbach Equation, Henry P.G. Darcy was also a skilled engineer, public servant, and community leader. Marking the 200th anniversary of Darcy's birth, seven papers describe Darcy's achievements and legacy and include one paper by Darcy's descendent and namesake. Additional essays assess the contributions of Henry Bazin, Günther Garbrecht, Hans Einstein, Victor Streeter, Carl Kindsvater, and Floyd Nagler. Other papers consider historical developments in pumping equipment in medieval Europe and 19th-century United States; dam failures as a result of uplift; the hydraulic engineering collection at the Smithsonian Institution; and accounts of Colorado State University, St. Anthony Falls and USDA-ARS laboratories.

This book considers recent developments in numerical error estimation and adaptive discretization for finite element and finite volume methods with particular attention given to discretization methods used frequently in computational fluid dynamics. The volume consists of six detailed articles by leading specialists covering a range of topics including a posteriori error estimation of functionals, one- and two-sided error bounds, error indicators for ad aptivity, and nd geometrical aspects of adaptive mesh refinement. This book should be of interest to readers actively working in the field as well as readers seeking a comprehensive introduction to the topic.

The simulation of turbulent reacting flows, connected with environmental protection and the design of chemical and mechanical processes, is increasingly important. Statistical Mechanics of Turbulent Flows presents a modern overview of basic ways to calculate such flows. It discusses the fundamental problems related to the use of basic equations and their modifications. Special emphasis is placed on the discussion of very promising statistical methods which provide solutions to these problems by models for the underlying stochastic physics of turbulent reacting flows. Their foundations and important new developments up through current challenges are systematically explained. Students and researchers in atmospheric sciences and oceanography, mechanical and chemical engineering and applied mathematics and physics may use Statistical Mechanics of Turbulent Flows as a guide to solve many problems related, e.g. to the assessment of complex atmospheric chemistry, chemical reactor processes, turbulent combustion, and multi-phase flows.

This product, consisting of a CD-ROM and a book, deals with the numerical simulation of reactive transport in porous media using the simulation package SHEMAT/Processing SHEMAT. SHEMAT (Simulator for HEat and MAss Transport) is an easy-to-use, general-purpose reactive transport simulation code for a wide variety of thermal and hydrogeological problems in two or three dimensions. The book is a richly documented manual for users of this software which discusses in detail the coded physical and chemical equations. Thus, it provides the in-depth background required by those who want to apply the code for solving advanced technical and scientific problems. The enclosed companion CD-ROM contains the software and data for all of the case studies. The software includes user-friendly pre- and post-processors which make it very easy to set up a model, run it and view the results, all from one platform. Therefore, the software is also very suitable for academic or technical "hands-on" courses for simulating flow, transport of heat and mass, and chemical reactions in porous media. You can find a link to the updated software on springer.com .
