The Computational Methods in Transport: Granlibakken 2004 book is based on a series of lectures given in Lake Tahoe California in September of 2004. The Granlibakken workshop was devoted to providing a forum where computational transport researchers in a variety of disciplines could communicate across disciplinary boundaries their methods and their methods successes and failures. This book captures both the breadth and depth of computational transport in mathematics, astrophysics, high energy density physics, atmospheric physics, oceanography, plant canopies, and nuclear reactors.
