Advances In Fluid Modeling And Turbulence Measurements, Proceedings Of The 8th International Symposium On Flow Modeling And Turbulence Measurements (Fmtm 2001)
This book is an essential reference for engineers and scientists working in the field of turbulence. It covers a variety of applications, such as: turbulence measurements; mathematical and numerical modeling of turbulence; thermal hydraulics; applications for civil, mechanical and nuclear engineering; environmental fluid mechanics; river and open channel flows; coastal problems; ground water.
Environmental fluid mechanics: free surface flows in channels, rivers, seas, estuaries, etc.; wind engineering; ocean circulation model; dispersion problems in atmospheric, water and ground water environments. Industrial fluid mechanics: fluid phenomena in energy exchanges; modelling of turbulent two- or multi-phase flows, swirling flows, flows in combustors, variable density flows and reacting flows; flows in turbo-machines, pumps and piping systems; fluid-structure interaction. Fundamentals of fluid mechanics: progress in modelling turbulent flows and heat/mass transfers; computational fluid dynamics/numerical techniques, parallel computing algorithms; applications of chaos/fractal theory in turbulence. Turbulence measurements: experimental studies of turbulent flows; experimental and post-processing techniques; quantitative and qualitative flow visualization techniques.
