What is Fields, Flows and Waves Volume 81 || about?
Many phenomena in the physical and biological sciences involve the collective behaviour of (very large) numbers of individual objects. For example, the be haviour of gases ultimately concerns the interacting motions of uncountably many atoms and molecules, but to understand flow in nozzles, around aircraft and in meteorology it is best to treat velocity and density as continuous func tions of position and time and then to analyse the associated flows. Although modern electronics involves ever smaller components, even the semiconduc tor devices used widely in electronic communications and in digital processing involve collective phenomena, such as electric currents and fields, which are continuously varying functions of position and time. Diffusion and reaction between various chemical constituents, the growth and spread of biological or ganisms and the flow of traffic on major highways are all phenomena which may be described and analysed in terms of fields and flows, while sound, light and various other electromagnetic phenomena involve both fields and waves. Treating these using a continuum model, which does not attempt to trace the motion and evolution of individual objects,
