    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    Short description:

    BL Systematic approach BL Self contained - reviews the principles and the applications Beris presents a new systematic approach to the continuum modelling of flow phenomena within materials with a complex internal microstructure, such as polymers and liquid crystals. Beris takes a novel approach to this subject as the principles of Hamiltonian mechanics are combined with those of irreversible thermodynamics. This text is therefore the perfect base for mathematicians, engineers, or physicists involved in flow behaviour.

    Long description:

    This monograph presents a new systematic approach to the continuum modelling of flow phenomena within materials endowed with a complex internal microstructure, such as polymers and liquid crystals. The approach taken in this text is novel in that it combines the principles of Hamiltonian mechanics with those of irreversible thermodynamics.

    The book begins by outlining the relevant physical prnciples and then goes on to the numerous applications. From their results the authors draw conclusions in relation to the available state-of-the-art knowledge of the corresponding subjects.
