Description: Physical phenomena can be modeled at varying degrees of complexity and at different scales. Multiscale modeling provides a framework based on fundamental principles for constructing mathematical and computational models of such phenomena by examining the connection between models at different scales. This book by a leading contributor to the field is the first to provide a unified treatment of the subject covering in a systematic way the general principles of multiscale models algorithms and analysis. After discussing the basic techniques and introducing the fundamental physical models the author focuses on the two most typical applications of multiscale modeling: capturing macroscale behavior and resolving local events. The treatment is complemented by chapters that deal with more specific problems. Throughout the author strikes a balance between precision and accessibility providing sufficient detail to enable the reader to understand the underlying principles without allowing technicalities to get in the way.
