Description
Description
Discover the latest advancements in multiscale modeling of heterogeneous materials. High-Order Multiscale Modelling Methods for Heterogeneous Materials addresses the challenges of predicting complex physical phenomena across nanoscale to macroscale, where traditional methods fall short due to strong heterogeneity and oscillations. It introduces high-order multiscale models that enable bidirectional data transfer between scales, combining micro-, meso-, and macro-level simulations for real-time, accurate predictions of coupled flow, pressure, displacement, and thermal fields. Structured into eleven chapters, the book provides a practical reference for researchers, engineers, and students working in multiscale computing and material science.
