Abstract
PrefaceThe present volume contains 10 contributed papers presented at the meeting on “Nonequilibrium thermodynamics and statistical physics: From rational modeling to its applications” held during March 16 – 17, 2017 in Hakata, Japan. Each submitted contributed paper was peer-reviewed by at least one referee.The meeting was dedicated to 66th birthday of Prof. Masaru Sugiyama in Nagoya Institute of Technology. The aim of this meeting is to provide the related researchers in the fields of nonequilibrium thermodynamics and statistical physics with an opportunity to get together and to exchange their recent results. Main topics of the meeting are the following:• Rational extended thermodynamics• Nonequilibrium statistical physics• Kinetic theory of rarefied gases• Nonlinear wave propagation• Computational fluid dynamics• Numerical simulation on material scienceValuable discussions from the viewpoints of theoretical physics, chemical physics and applied mathematics were also made after the talks.This international meeting attracted 15 participants from 3 countries, namely, Japan, Italy and China. 12 oral contributions were presented at the meeting.We would like to thank all participants for their essential contributions to the success of the meeting. We are also grateful to the reviewers for their careful reading and prompt response. The meeting was partially supported by JSPS KAKENHI Grant Numbers JP16K17555 (S. T.) JP15K21452 (T.A.) and by National Institute of Technology, Kitakyushu College, Japan.Editors: Shigeru Taniguchi and Takashi Arima
