Fractional Modeling of Fluid Flow and Transport Phenomena focuses on mathematical and numerical aspects of fractional-order modeling in fluid flow and transport phenomena. The book covers fundamental concepts, advancements, and practical applications, including modeling developments, numerical solutions, and convergence analysis for both time and space fractional order models. Various types of flows are explored, such as single- and multi-phase flows in porous media, involving different fluid types like Newtonian, non-Newtonian, nanofluids, and ferrofluids. This book serves as a comprehensive reference on fractional-order modeling of fluid flow and transport phenomena, offering a single resource that is currently unavailable.Fractional-order modeling has gained traction in engineering and science, particularly in fluid dynamics and transport phenomena. However, its mathematical and numerical advancements have progressed relatively slowly compared to other aspects. Therefore, this book emphasizes the fractional-order modeling of fluid flow and transport phenomena to bridge this gap. Each chapter in the book delves into a specific topic closely related to the others, ensuring a cohesive and self-contained structure.

The emerging field of network science represents a new style of research that can unify such traditionally-diverse fields as sociology, economics, physics, biology, and computer science. It is a powerful tool in analyzing both natural and man-made systems, using the relationships between players within these networks and between the networks themselves to gain insight into the nature of each field. Until now, studies in network science have been focused on particular relationships that require varied and sometimes-incompatible datasets, which has kept it from being a truly universal discipline. Computational Network Science seeks to unify the methods used to analyze these diverse fields. This book provides an introduction to the field of Network Science and provides the groundwork for a computational, algorithm-based approach to network and system analysis in a new and important way. This new approach would remove the need for tedious human-based analysis of different datasets and help researchers spend more time on the qualitative aspects of network science research.

This work discusses the value of dynamic programming as a method of optimization for the sequential phenomena encountered in economic studies or in advanced technological programs such as those associated with space flights. The dynamic programs which are considered are defined for a deterministic universe, or one with probabilities; both categories are of equal importance in the practice of operations research or of scientific management.
