Riemann Solvers and Numerical Methods for Fluid Dynamics: A Practical Introduction
Springer | 2009 | ISBN: 3540252029 | 724 pages | PDF | 23 MB
High resolution upwind and centred methods are today a mature generation of computational techniques applicable to a wide range of engineering and scientific disciplines, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) being the most prominent up to now. This textbook gives a comprehensive, coherent and practical presentation of this class of techniques. The book is designed to provide readers with an understanding of the basic concepts, some of the underlying theory, the ability to critically use the current research papers on the subject, and, above all, with the required information for the practical implementation of the methods.

Elasticity and Plasticity of Large Deformations: An Introduction
Springer | 2008 | ISBN: 3540693998 | 340 pages | PDF | 14 MB
The valuable input of students and colleagues has enabled the author to make many improvements to the first edition of this book, without, however, changing the main structure of the book. As a result, the second edition "Elasticity and Plasticity of Large deformations" still offers a careful introduction to modern non-linear mechanics. It presents in detail the used mathematical tools, such as tensor algebra and analysis.

Digital Tutors - Introduction to Rotoscoping in Toxik 2010
English | VP6F 782x646 | MP3 96 Kbps | 249 MB
Genre: eLearning
In this series of lessons we%27ll learn the basics of Rotoscoping in Toxik.
We%27ll begin this project by learning about the garbage mask tool. We%27ll then learn how to easily and quickly control our mask shape and edge feathering using Toxiks powerful Edge Point system. We%27ll then jump into the basic workflows of animating masks and how we can keep a consistent shape for a more appealing matte. We%27ll end by outputting our mask into an image sequence that can be used in other applications.

The Gn0m0n Workshop - Introduction to Sculpting Fluid Dynamics - Real Flow Techniques
English | SVQ3 1024x768 | MP3 128 Kbps | 3.67 GB
Genre: eLearning
Wayne England presents an introduction to the creation of digital fluid dynamics using Real Flow, that includes a systematic breakdown of methods used to generate photo-realistic fluid dynamic effects. The viewer takes a step-by-step look at the fundamental procedures and parameters within Real Flow that together establish an essential, practical, working knowledge of the program. This includes a thorough overview of features important in establishing a production-ready workflow, such as questions of scale, particle meshing, Real Flow Node control via the command line, the data exchange pipeline to other 3D packages and many other practical and creative methodologies. Within the context of the tutorial projects, digital fluids with highly realistic characteristics are developed. The material covered in this DVD is intended for both students and professionals who wish to strengthen their practical understanding of the huge range of aesthetic possibilities in Real Flow.
