Computer Simulation of Continuous Systems
Computer Simulation of Continuous Systems by R. J. Ord-Smith, published by CUP Archive on June 26, 1975, is a comprehensive exploration of simulating continuous processes using computer models. This 326-page book delves into how such simulations can enhance understanding of system behaviors under specific constraints, particularly in contexts involving differential equations, such as vehicle suspension systems and chemical reactions.
Readers will find detailed descriptions of the applications of analogue, digital, and hybrid computers in simulating continuous systems. The text includes a variety of simple problems and examples of differing complexity drawn from various scientific and engineering fields, making it accessible to a broad audience. Additionally, a short appendix provides insights into the functioning of analogue and hybrid units, ensuring that a background in electric circuit theory is not necessary for comprehension.
Official synopsis Publisher
Simulating a continuous process on a (computer) model provides a means of understanding how a system will behave when it is subject to particular constraints. Computers are of particular use for this purpose as the system is one which involves differential equations, eg. the behaviour of the vehicle suspension systems and chemical reactions. The book describes how analogue, digital and hybrid computers are used in simulating continuous systems. Their use is illustrated in the text by a number of simple problems and most chapters also contain examples of varying complexity selected from a range of scientific and engineering disciplines. A short appendix describes the functioning of analogue and hybrid units; for the rest of the book a knowledge of electric circuit theory is not required.
