Overview

The 25 papers in this volume reflect a symposium held in honour of Professor Henri Cabannes at the University Pierre et Marie Curie in Paris in July, 1990. They cover four areas: classical kinetic theory and fluid dynamics, discrete kinetic theory, applied fluid mechanics and continuum mechanics. The passage from the kinetic approach to the continuum approach is emphasized in several of the contributions. The discrete kinetic theory, also discussed in this book, is at present a developing field. The chapter on applied fluid mechanics covers topics such as hypersonic flows with chemical reactions, supersonic aircraft and magnetohydrodynamics. This book of proceedings on kinetic theory, physical properties of gases, fluid dynamics and the mechanical properties of solids is intended for researchers.
