Bøger i Fluid Mechanics and Its Applications serien

After investigations in laboratory scale wind tunnels, a joint initiative on PIV research, by the European Aerospace Research Establishments, within GARTEUR have enabled a wide breakthrough of this new technology in Europe.

Under the auspices of the Euromech Committee, the Fifth European Turbulence Conference was held in Siena on 5-8 July 1994. I also want to thank Mrs. Liu' Catena, for her invaluable contribution to the work done by the local organizing committee and the European Turbulence Committee in the scientific organization of the meeting.

The contents are arranged under three classifications: Modelling of Mixing Processes, Mixing Operations and Experimental Techniques. Similarly, Mixing Operations are concerned with the application or function of the mixing process, such as mass transfer, heat transfer or mixing time.

With this 13th in the series of International Conferences on Fluid Sealing these meetings move into their third decade. Denny, whose researches on reciprocating fluid power seals, "The sealing mechanism of flexible packings", was published in 1947 by a long since defunct government department, the Ministry of Supply.

Proceedings of the 4th European Drag Reduction Meeting

In the last 25 years, one of the most striking advances in Fluid Mecha nics was certainly the discovery of coherent structures in turbulence: lab oratory experiments and numerical simulations have shown that most turbulent flows exhibit both spatially-organized large-scale structures and disorganized motions, generally at smaller scales.

Advanced Experimental and Numerical Techniques for Cavitation Erosion Prediction

This book starts with a discussion of nonlinear ordinary differential equations, bifurcation theory and Hamiltonian dynamics.

A series of IUTAM symposia held over the last twenty five years at well-known Centres of research in the subject - Novosibirsk, Stuttgart, Toulouse, Sendai and Sedona (Arizona) - has proved to be a great catalyst which has given a boost to research and our understanding of the field.

This textbook discusses the fundamental principles of sediment transport in the geophysical context of rivers. It begins begin by describing phenomena such as bed load and suspension transport from a classical perspective.

This book treats cavitation, which is a unique phenomenon in the field of hyd- dynamics, although it can occur in any hydraulic machinery such as pumps, propellers, artificial hearts, and so forth. Therefore, even a beginner on cavitation can read and can understand what cavitation is.

IUTAM Symposium held at the University of Warwick, Coventry, United Kingdom, 26-30 March 2001

The first part aims at providing the physical and theoretical framework of the analysis of density variations in fully turbulent flows. In the second part, basic data on dynamical and scalar properties of variable density turbulent flows are presented and discussed, based on experimental data and/or results from direct numerical simulations.

Proceedings of the IUTAM Symposium held in Manchester, United Kingdom, 16-20 July 2000

for the fluctuations around the means but rather fluctuations, and appearing in the following incompressible system of equations: on any wall; Guiraud on attempts to push forward our last co-signed paper (1986) and the main idea is to put a stochastic structure on fluctuations and to identify the large eddies with a part of the probability space.

Held at the Shonan International Village Center, Hayama (Kanagawa-ken), Japan, November 1-5, 1999

The active field of multi-phase flow has undergone fundamental changes in the last decade. Topics covered include solitary wave dynamics on viscous film flows, sheet formation and drop entrainment in stratified flow, wetting and dewetting dynamics, self-similar drop formation dynamics, waves in bubbly and suspension flow, and bubble dynamics.

Proceedings of the IUTAM Symposium held in Bochum, Germany, June 28-30, 1995

Proceedings of the IUTAM Symposium held in Manchester, U.K., 17-20 July 1995

Proceedings of the Sixth European Turbulence Conference held in Lausanne, Switzerland, 2-5 July 1996

The topics of the symposium were chosen to cover Enok's broad range of scientific work, interests and accomplishments: Marine hydrodynamics, nonlinear wave theory, nonlinear stability, thermal convection and geophys ical fluid dynamics, starting with Enok's present activity, ending with the field where he began his career.

With the advent of new recording and image analysis techniques new and promising experimental methods in fluid flows have presented themselves which are rather newly developed techniques such as particle tracking velocimetry (PTV), particle image velocimetry (PIV) and laser fluorescene (LIF).

Proceedings of the IUTAM Symposium held in Boulder, Colorado, USA, 27-31 July 1997

This book contains contributions by colleagues, former students and friends of Professor Eli Reshotko in celebration of his 60th birth day.

TUrbulence modeling encounters mixed evaluation concerning its impor tance. The estrangement between the physics community and the turbulence modeling is further enhanced by the fact that the latter is founded on a weak theoretical basis, compared with the study of small-scale turbulence.

Selected Contributions from the Workshop held in Manchester, UK, containing the Harten Memorial Lecture

One of the great twentieth-century achievements in the mechanics of fluids was the full elucidation of the physics of shock waves and the later comprehensive development of understanding of how shock waves propagate (i) through otherwise undisturbed fluid and (ii) in interaction either with solid bodies or with independently generated fluid flows.

Spatial inhomogeneity of heating of fluids in the gravity field is the cause of all motions in nature: in the atmosphere and the oceans on Earth, in astrophysical and planetary objects.
