A Journey Around the Different Scales Involved in the Description of Matter and Complex Systems

von Francisco Chinesta, Emmanuelle Abisset-Chavanne

125 Seiten, Taschenbuch

Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

This SpringerBrief covers the main scales of description of matter, starting at its finest level, the quantum scale, moving through ab-initio, molecular dynamics, coarse grained approaches, to finish at the scale of kinetic theory models that allows a nice compromise between the rich but expensive microscopic descriptions and the computationally cheap but sometimes too coarse macroscopic descriptions. The book addresses undergraduate and graduate students, as well as beginners in multi-scale modeling of materials.
