Advances in Mathematical and Computational Modeling of Engineering Systems

The text covers a wide range of topics such as mathematical modeling of crop pest control management, water resources management, impact of anthropogenic activities on atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations, impact of climate changes on melting of glaciers and polar bear populations, dynamics of slow-fast predator-prey system and spread and control of HIV epidemic. It emphasizes the use of mathematical modeling to investigate the fluid flow problems including the breaking of viscoelastic jet, instability arising in nanofiber, flow in an annulus channel, and thermal instability in nano-fluids in a comprehensive manner. This book will be a readily accessible source of information for the students, researchers and policymakers interested in the application of mathematical and computational modeling techniques to investigate various biological and engineering phenomena.
