  • Rapid Penetration into Granular Media

    Visualizing the Fundamental Physics of Rapid Earth Penetration
    • 1st Edition
    • Magued Iskander + 2 more
    • English
    Rapid Penetration into Granular Media: Visualizing the Fundamental Physics of Rapid Penetration introduces readers to the variety of methods developed to visualize, observe, and model the rapid penetration of natural and man-made projectiles into earth materials while providing seasoned practitioners with a standard reference that showcases the topic's most recent developments in research and application. There has been a flurry of recently funded research both in the U.S. and Europe on studying the behavior of projectiles in granular media. This book compiles the findings of recent research on the subject and outlines the fundamental physics of rapid earth penetration, and assembles a comprehensive collection of experimental and numerical techniques to study the problem.

  • Modeling and Simulation of Reactive Flows

    • 1st Edition
    • A.L. De Bortoli + 2 more
    • English
    Modelling and Simulation of Reactive Flows presents information on modeling and how to numerically solve reactive flows. The book offers a distinctive approach that combines diffusion flames and geochemical flow problems, providing users with a comprehensive resource that bridges the gap for scientists, engineers, and the industry. Specifically, the book looks at the basic concepts related to reaction rates, chemical kinetics, and the development of reduced kinetic mechanisms. It considers the most common methods used in practical situations, along with equations for reactive flows, and various techniques—including flamelet, ILDM, and Redim—for jet flames and plumes, with solutions for both. In addition, the book includes techniques to accelerate the convergence of numerical simulation, and a discussion on the analysis of uncertainties with numerical results, making this a useful reference for anyone who is interested in both combustion in free flow and in porous media.

  • Fat Grafting: Current Concept, Clinical Application, and Regenerative Potential, PART 2, An Issue of Clinics in Plastic Surgery

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 42-3
    • Lee L.Q. Pu
    • English
    This issue of Clinics in Plastic Surgery offers the plastic surgeon (and facial plastic surgeon, reconstructive surgeon, burn surgeon, any surgeon working with face or body reconstruction or rejuvenation) an intensive review of all aspects of working with fat. The title succinctly sums it up that clinical applications, currently known concepts, and future expectations of working with fat for reconstructive or cosmetic surgery are presented here. The Editors and their selected are peerless in the field that focuses on biology of fat, adipose derived stem cells, and growth factors; harvesting, processing, and storage of harvested fat; how to maximize the results of fat grafting; and safety issues with fat grafting and growth factors. Practical clinical applications, currently known concepts, and future expectations of working with fat for reconstructive or cosmetic surgery are presented here. Because of the depth and comprehensiveness of the material presented by the experts in this field, this issues is presented in two parts; Part 2 topics include: Fat grafting for facial filling and regeneration; Fat grafting for treatment of craniofacial deformity; Role of fat grafting in breast reconstruction; Combined use of implant and fat grafting for breast augmentation; Breast reconstruction with fat grafting and Brava; Safety considerations of fat grafting to the breast. There is an entire section on Regenerative Approaches with Fat Grafting - Ulcers and scars; Dupytren's contracture, Scleroderma; abd Velopharyngeal insufficiency. Future use of fat graft is discussed, along with management of catastrophic complications following fat grafting.
