Abstract to this E-Book Series

This new e-book series is devoted to very recent research trends in computational physics publishing chapters from outstanding experts of high scientific level in modeling of physical problems. Hereby, it focus on the computational perspectives of current physical challenges, publishing new numerical techniques for the solution of mathematical equations including chapters describing certain real-world applications concisely. Moreover, the e-book series emphasize especially approaches that are interdisciplinary (cf. Volume 2)

Nowadays, with the help of powerful computers and sophisticated methods of numerical mathematics it is possible to simulate many ultramodern devices, e.g. photonic crystals structures, semiconductor nanostructures or fuel cell stacks devices, thus preventing expensive and longstanding design and optimization in the laboratories.

In this book series the research manuscripts will appear very compactly as single chapters and focussed on one hot topic per volume.

Audience

The likely audience of this book series are (electro) engineers (volume 1), physicists, meteorologists (volume 2), etc. and applied mathematicians (both academic and from companies) and especially car companies/ fuel cell producers (volume 2)

The book is designed to be consisting of a collection of contributed chapters. Outstanding experts working successfully in this challenging research area will be invited to contribute each a chapter of roughly 30-40 pages to this volume.

Academic Level

The principal audience is Ph.D. students and lecturer of computational physics and numerical mathematics.

Author Guidelines

Author Guidelines for Bentham E-Books are available here. While Bentham prefers submission in WORD format, also LaTeX chapters are acceptable. TeX/LaTeX authors may submit the original/source file(s) of their manuscript along with a camera-ready PDF file in a presentable form. For this purpose a LaTeX template file exists. Both 'latex' and 'pdflatex' can be used to generate the submission (we recommend the later possibility).

Copyright / Donation

Chapters of the E-book may also be published for free unrestrictive viewing against a modest author contribution fee; however, this is a choice open to authors. 
All royalty payments (10%) on sales for this E-book series should be donated to Doctors Without Borders (50%) and Oxfam (50%) (These organizations, to the best of my knowledge, are not associated with a specific party, religious belief or ethnic group; they intervene globally; and they direct the large majority of their expenditures to program activities.)
