Turbulence and Transition Modelling Lecture Notes from the ERCOFTACIUTAM Summerschool held in Stockholm, 12-20 June, 1995


Free Download Turbulence and Transition Modelling: Lecture Notes from the ERCOFTAC/IUTAM Summerschool held in Stockholm, 12-20 June, 1995 By M. Hallbäck, D. S. Henningson, A. V. Johansson (auth.), M. Hallbäck, D. S. Henningson, A. V. Johansson, P. H. Alfredsson (eds.)
1996 | 370 Pages | ISBN: 9048147077 | PDF | 11 MB
The aim of this book is to give, within a single volume, an introduction to the fields of turbulence modelling and transition-to-turbulence prediction, and to provide the physical background for today’s modelling approaches in these problem areas as well as giving a flavour of advanced use of prediction methods. Turbulence modelling approaches, ranging from single-point models based on the eddy-viscosity concept and the Reynolds stress transport equations (Chapters 3,4,5), to large-eddy simulation (LES) techniques (Ch. 7), are covered. The foundations of hydrodynamical stability and transition are presented (Ch. 2) along with transition prediction methods based on single-point closures (Ch. 6), LES techniques (Ch. 7) and the parabolized stability equations (Ch. 8). The book addresses engineers and researchers, in industry or academia, who are entering into the fields of turbulence or transition modelling research or need to apply turbulence or transition prediction methods in their work.

Serverless Computing Principles and Paradigms (Lecture Notes on Data Engineering and Communications Technologies)


Free Download Serverless Computing: Principles and Paradigms (Lecture Notes on Data Engineering and Communications Technologies) by Rajalakshmi Krishnamurthi, Adarsh Kumar, Sukhpal Singh Gill
English | May 12, 2023 | ISBN: 3031266323 | 328 pages | MOBI | 9.76 Mb
This book explores how advances in graphic processing units (GPUs), programmable logic devices (TPUs), and field-programmable gate arrays have altered the serverless computing landscape (FPGAs). Distributed system architectures and implementations have undergone significant changes due to the popularity of serverless computing. Making and releasing product applications, doing market research, and maintaining customer interactions might all benefit from the reduced infrastructure expenses made possible by serverless computing. This book is a great resource for teachers and students interested in learning more about serverless computing. Some of the main questions surrounding serverless technology, such as scalability and performance distribution, are answered. Concepts and fundamentals of computing performance such as cost-free operation, good time and resource management, fairness, and interoperability are discussed. Serverless is at the forefront of this shift, which has made data-intensive, distributed applications, and open-source platforms essential for any modern computer to function. Data-centric queuing, real-time logging and monitoring, querying, and alarms are all examples of serverless services.

Lecture Notes in Entrepreneurial Finance for the Digital Economy


Free Download Lecture Notes in Entrepreneurial Finance for the Digital Economy
English | 2024 | ISBN: 981124989X | 213 Pages | PDF (True) | 29 MB
This book is intended to be used as a basis for developing courses in entrepreneurial finance. While many universities, particularly in the United States, have entrepreneurial finance on their curriculum, there is often a gap between the large selection of entrepreneurship courses and courses providing applicable hard skills in finance and accounting. Early-stage ventures cannot succeed without capital and careful management of cash flow for example. Entrepreneurs need skills, such as how to negotiate with investors, so that they don’t end up giving up the control of their venture too early. This book aims to fill this gap by providing guidelines for how successful courses can be set up to train finance, accounting, and corporate strategy students for a career in the start-up and venture capital industry.

Lecture Notes In Experimental Economics


Free Download Lecture Notes In Experimental Economics
English | 2024 | ISBN: 9811288461 | 293 Pages | PDF (True) | 7 MB
Experimental economics involves the use of controlled, experimental methods both in the laboratory and the field to better comprehend how individuals and groups make economic decisions and to more clearly identify causal relationships. This book takes the reader to the frontier of research in this exciting and rapidly growing field. Unlike other texts, this book discusses both the methodology of experimental economics and some of the main application areas.The material is organized as a series of 12 chapters or lectures that can be covered in a single academic term. The first five chapters cover the reasons for experimentation as well as basic experimental methodology. The last seven chapters discuss applications of experimental economics to areas such as game theory, public economics, social preferences, auctions and markets. The book assumes only a basic knowledge of economics and game theory and is written at a level that is suitable for advanced undergraduate, master’s or PhD students.
