Liquid Rocket Thrust Chambers - Aspects of Modeling, Analysis, and Design - Progress in Astronautics and Aeronautics, Volume 200
Liquid Rocket Thrust Chambers - Aspects of Modeling, Analysis, and Design - Progress in Astronautics and Aeronautics, Volume 200
This is the first major publication on liquid-rocket combustion devices since 1960, and includes 20 chapters prepared by world-renowned experts. Each chapter focuses on a specific aspect of liquid-propellant combustion and thrust chamber dynamics, and is incorporated into the volume in a well-organized, cohesive manner.
Frontiers of Propulsion Science - Progress in Astronautics and Aeronautics, Volume 227
Frontiers of Propulsion Science - Progress in Astronautics and Aeronautics, Volume 227
This emerging science, combined with the realization that rockets are fundamentally inadequate for interstellar exploration, led NASA to support the Breakthrough Propulsion Physics Project from 1996 through 2002. Frontiers of Propulsion Science covers that project as well as other related work, so as to provide managers, scientists, engineers, and graduate students with enough starting material that they can comprehend the status of this research.
Combustion Instability - Progress in Astronautics and Aeronautics, Volume 222
Combustion Instability - Progress in Astronautics and Aeronautics, Volume 222
This book, much of it formerly classified material, is a clear exposition of much of the theoretical work on combustion instabilities, performed in support of the Soviet liquid rocket program during its most vigorous period. While there are similarities between Western and Eastern works, there are many distinct differences. The author was one of the small group of Soviet theorists actively engaged in all of the Soviet liquid rocket programs.

Knovel - Transportation in a Climate-Constrained World
In this book, the authors examine such topics as past and future travel demand; the influence of personal and business choices on passenger travel's climate impact; technologies and alternative fuels that may become available to mitigate GHG emissions from passenger transport; and policies that would promote their adoption. While taking into account all of these options, the authors consider how to achieve a more sustainable transportation system in the next thirty to fifty years.

Knovel -- Vehicle-Bridge Interaction Dynamics
This book is unique in that it is devoted entirely to the interaction between the supporting bridges and moving trains, the so-called vehicle–bridge interaction (VBI). Finite element procedures have been developed to treat interaction problems of various complexities, while the analytical solutions established for some typical problems are helpful for identifying the key parameters involved. Some field tests were conducted to verify the theories established.

Knovel -- Constructive Modeling of Structural Turbulence and Hydrodynamic Instabilities
This book provides an original approach in the research of structural analysis of free developed shear compressible turbulence at a high Reynolds number on the base of direct numerical simulation (DNS) and instability evolution for ideal mediums (integral conservation laws) with an approximate mechanism of dissipation (FLUX dissipative monotone "upwind" difference schemes) and does not use any explicit sub-grid approximation and semi-empirical models of turbulence. Convective mixing is considered as a principal part of conservation law.
