Computational Methods in Surface and Colloid Science

Description

This volume presents computer simulation methods and mathematical modelling of physical processes used in surface science research. It offers in-depth analysis of advanced theoretical approaches to behaviours of fluids in contact with porous, semiporous and nonporous solid surfaces. The book also explores interfacial systems for a wide variety of p Abstract: This volume presents computer simulation methods and mathematical modelling of physical processes used in surface science research.
