Bunimovich A.I. and Dubinskii A.V. Mathematical models and methods of localized interaction theory. (Series on advances in mathematics for applied sciences; vol. 25)

Singapore: World Scientific Publishing Co. Pte. Ltd. 1995. - 234 p.The localized interaction theory (LIT) covers theoretical and applied problems dealing with determination of force and thermal effect of a medium on bodies moving in it or flowed around by it under physically different conditions. The basis of the investigations are so-called "localized interaction models" (LIM) describing the effect of a medium in each point of a body surface as independent one which is defined by the "local" geometric and kinematic characteristics of that point as well as by "global" parameters identical for all points of contact and representing the common characteristics of the medium, the body and the interaction process.
