Overview
- Intermediate between an extensive review article and a text
- Exhaustive treatment of the subject
- Results are offered in a pedagogical and self-contained way and make connection with a broader context
- The approach involves complementary and reinforcing methods: analytic, numerical, and simulational, so the results are controlled and unambiguous
Part of the book series: Fundamental Theories of Physics (FTPH, volume 131)

About this book
Reviews
From the reviews:
"This book provides an in-depth study of nonequilibrium phenomena in rarefied gases for the special scenario of shear flows with simple geometries. … The monograph is mostly based on recent research by the authors and includes an extensive bibliography on the subject. The presentation is at an intermediate level … and makes the book accessible to a large group of readers: physicists, engineers, mathematicians, and graduate students in statistical mechanics and related fields." (Reinhard Illner and Vladislav Panferov, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2005 b)
