This book features state-of-the-art contributions in mathematical, experimental and numerical simulations in engineering sciences. The rapid developments in many areas of technology in the twenty-first century have placed increased focus on improving simulation methods and also experimental testing procedures. Both approaches are complimentary to each other and enable optimized delivery of solutions and performance of modern industrial and technologi‐ cal products and systems. The contributions in this book, which comprise twelve chapters, are organized in six sections spanning the major fields of engineering, i.e., mechanical, aerospace, electrical, electronic, computer, materials, metallurgical, geotechnical and chemical engineer‐ ing. Many complex industrial problems have been addressed by contributors, employing a range of sophisticated modelling and computational simulation techniques. Chapters featured address ABAQUS finite element simulation in micro-forming for extremely small metallic com‐ ponents, weighted essentially non-oscillatory (WENO) numerical analysis of compressible re‐ active flows (including combustion of fuel droplets), partitioned frequency-time method computational analysis of radio frequency circuits, APSYS-platform based computational modelling for HgCdTe barrier infrared detectors, transfer matrix method numerical computa‐ tion of optical properties of fiber Bragg and long-period fiber gratings, Monte Carlo simulation of radiation-induced charge carriers in semiconductors, multi-point statistical methods (MPS) simulation of parallel strategies for implementation on many-core architecture computers, Comsol finite element simulation of laser processing of materials, finite difference computation with the "phase field method" for phase decomposition in binary alloys, Lagrangian-Eulerian and Eulerian-Eulerian *mathematical modelling of* single and two-phase *nanofluid dynamics*, dis‐ crete element method (DEM) and experimental testing of geo-materials and finally ANSYS FLUENT computational fluid dynamics simulation of rheo-kinetic mixing processes in a batch reactor with free radical polymerization. Contributors are all very active researchers in their respective fields and are truly international, being based in Poland, China, Portugal, Romania, France, Mexico, Malaysia, Italy, Iran and Lithuania. It is envisaged that the chapters will be well-received by readers and will provide an excellent insight into advanced simulation proce‐ dures for multi-physical engineering topics of relevance to many diverse areas of technology in the twenty-first century.
