From Kinetic Theory to Turbulence Modeling The Legacy of Carlo Cercignani

The book collects relevant contributions presented at a conference, organized in honour of Carlo Cercignani, that took place at Politecnico di Milano on May 24–28, 2021. Different research areas characterizing the scientific work of Carlo Cercignani have been considered with a particular focus on: m...
