"Five Stars" according to Barton Wassermann. THE BEST! Must read for every engineer and scientist.
Dr William T. He has published over 290 papers, primarily in the field of thermal hydraulics. Seaborg Medal, the 2007 Samuel Untermyer II Medal and the 2008 Reactor Technology Award, all from the ANS. Sha is formerly a senior scientist at Argonne National Laboratory and the former Director of the Analytic Thermal Hydraulic Research Progra
Some chapters of the book present the state-of-the-art reviews, and they provide a solid background for future research." - Ioan Pop, Zentralblatt MATH . Numerical solutions are given graphically and in tabular form. It is excellently written and readable. It can be also recommended as a text for seminars and courses, as well as for independent study. A large list of 66 papers and books is included at the end of the book. "In the reviewer's opinion, this book provides a fundamental and comprehensive presentation of the mathematical and physical theory of multiphase flow, pointing out several important practical applications. The book will be useful to a wide range of specialists working in the area of flows in porous media, such as design engineers, physicists, chemical engineers, and also to researchers interested in the applied
Sha first proposed the novel porous media formulation in an article in Nuclear Engineering and Design in 1980. The directional surface porosities thus greatly improve the resolution and modeling accuracy and facilitate mock-ups of numerical simulation models of real engineering systems. Most practical engineering problems involve many complex shapes and sizes of solid internal structures whose distributed resistance is impossible to quantify accurately. Both the continuum and conventional porous media formulations are subsets of the novel porous media formulation. The novel porous media formulation represented a new, flexible, and unified approach to solve real-world engineering problems. Moreover, fluid-structure interactions are explicitly accounted for in this formulation.. The novel porous media formulation uses the concept of volume porosity, directional surface porosities, distributed
