Wilkinson defined a sparse matrix as one with enough zeros that it pays to take advantage of
them. 1 This informal yet practical definition captures the essence of the goal of direct …

Nonlinear eigenvalue problems arise in a variety of science and engineering applications,
and in the past ten years there have been numerous breakthroughs in the development of …

In the field of computational biomechanics, investigators have primarily used commercial
software that is neither geared toward biological applications nor sufficiently flexible to follow …

This hands-on introduction to numerical geodynamic modelling provides a solid grounding
in the necessary mathematical theory and techniques, including continuum mechanics and …

The conjugate flow and heat transfer of phase change materials (PCMs)-metal foam
confined between two annuli is addressed. A pulse heat load is employed at the inner …

The free convective flow of a Nano-Encapsulated Phase Change Material (NEPCM)
suspension in an eccentric annulus is investigated numerically. The inner cylinder is heated …

This book presents the fundamentals of sparse matrix algorithms, from theory to algorithms
and data structures to working code. The focus is on direct methods for solving systems of …

When continents break apart, continental crust and lithosphere are thinned until break-up is
achieved and an oceanic basin is formed. The most remarkable and least understood …

The free convection phase change heat transfer of a suspension comprising Nano-
Encapsulated Phase Change Materials (NEPCMs) in a porous space is theoretically …

Low thermal response of latent heat thermal energy storage (LHTES) systems has been
their main barrier in large-scale applications and commercialization. Amongst all proposed …
