The first four chapters address the definitions, with few dimensional analysis theorems and similarity criteria. There is also the analysis of self-similarity, both of first and second kind, with a couple of completely solved problems, framed within the group theory. From chapter 5 onward, the focus is on applications in some of the engineering sectors. The number of topics is necessarily limited, but, almost always, there are details, calculations and treatment of assumptions. The book contains descriptions of some of the experimental apparatuses currently used for the realisation of physical models, such as the wind tunnel, the shaking table, the centrifuge, and with the exclusion of many others, which can be found in specialist monographies. Measurement techniques and instrumentation and statistical data processing is also available in other books. Some more specific notions, required by the context, are reported in the appendix, where appears also the description of numerous dimensionless groups, all of engineering interest, but with the exclusion of many others related to physical processes of electrical nature or physics of particles. A glossary lists the meaning of some specific terms typical of dimensional analysis and used in the book. 001441836 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 001441836 650_0 $$aDimensional analysis. 001441836 650_0 $$aMathematical analysis. 001441836 650_6 $$aAnalyse dimensionnelle. 001441836 650_6 $$aAnalyse mathématique. 001441836 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001441836 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aLongo, Sandro.$$tPrinciples and applications of dimensional analysis and similarity.$$dCham : Springer, 2022$$z9783030792169$$w(OCoLC)1295109549 001441836 830_0 $$aMathematical engineering. 001441836 852__ $$bebk 001441836 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-030-79217-6$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001441836 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1441836$$pGLOBAL_SET 001441836 980__ $$aBIB 001441836 980__ $$aEBOOK 001441836 982__ $$aEbook 001441836 983__ $$aOnline 001441836 994__ $$a92$$bISE
