Peyresq Lectures on Nonlinear Phenomena
" ... a compilation of lecture notes on various topics in nonlinear physics delivered by specialists during the summer schools organized by the Institut Non Linéaire de Nice (INLN) in Peyresq (French Alps of Provence) since 1998. The first volume, edited by R. Kaiser and J. Montaldi, contains courses from the years 1998 and 1999. This volume collects notes of the lectures given from the summers of 2000, 2001 and 2002"--Preface, v. 2.
Time-Symmetry Breaking in Turbulent Multi-Particle Dispersion
This thesis presents experimental and theoretical investigations of the connection between the time asymmetry in the short-time evolution of particle clusters and the intrinsic irreversibility of turbulent flows due to the energy cascade. The term turbulence describes a special state of a continuous medium in which many interacting degrees of freedom are excited. One of the interesting phenomena observed in turbulent flows is their time irreversibility. When milk is stirred into coffee, for example, highly complex and interwoven structures are produced, making the mixing process irreversible. This behavior can be analyzed in more detail by studying the dispersion of particle clusters. Previo...
The Kolmogorov Legacy in Physics
The present volume, published at the occasion of his 100th birthday anniversary, is a collection of articles that reviews the impact of Kolomogorov's work in the physical sciences and provides an introduction to the modern developments that have been triggered in this way to encompass recent applications in biology, chemistry, information sciences and finance.
Intermittency in Turbulent Flows
This volume was the product of a workshop held at the Newton Institute in Cambridge, and examines turbulence, intermittency, nonlinear dynamics and fluid mechanics.
Particle-Laden Flow
This book contains a selection of the papers that were presented at the EUROMECH colloquium on particle-laden flow held at the University of Twente in 2006. The multiscale nature of this challenging field motivated the calling of the colloquium and reflects the central importance that the dispersion of particles in a flow has in various geophysical and environmental problems. The spreading of aerosols and soot in the air, the growth and dispersion of plankton blooms in seas and oceans, or the transport of sediment in rivers, estuaries and coastal regions are striking examples.
Advances in Turbulence XII
This volume comprises the communications presented at the EUROMECH European Turbulence Conference ETC12, held in Marburg in September 2009. The topics covered by the meeting include: Acoustics of turbulent flows, Atmospheric turbulence, Control of turbulent flows, Geophysical and astrophysical turbulence, Instability and transition, Intermittency and scaling, Large eddy simulation and related techniques, Lagrangian aspects, MHD turbulence, Reacting and compressible turbulence, Transport and mixing, Turbulence in multiphase and non-Newtonian flows, Vortex dynamics and structure, formation, Wall bounded flows.
Singularities in Fluids, Plasmas and Optics
Singularities in Fluids, Plasmas and Optics, which contains the proceedings of a NATO Workshop held in Heraklion, Greece, in July 1992, provides a survey of the state of the art in the analysis and computation of singularities in physical problems drawn from fluid mechanics, plasma physics and nonlinear optics. The singularities include curvature singularities on fluid interfaces, the onset of turbulence in 3-D inviscid flows, focusing singularities for laser beams, and magnetic reconnection. The highlights of the book include the nonlinear Schrödinger equation for describing laser beam focusing, the method of complex variables for the analysis and computation of singularities on fluid interfaces, and studies of singularities for the 3-D Euler equations. The book is suitable for graduate students and researchers in these areas.
Mechanics for a New Millennium
This volume contains the proceedings of the 2000 International Congress of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics. The book captures a snapshot view of the state of the art in the field of mechanics and will be invaluable to engineers and scientists from a variety of disciplines.
Disorder and Mixing
CARGESE INSTITUfE ON DISORDER AND MIXING Convection, diffusion and reaction are the three basic mechanisms in physico-chemical hydrodynamics and chemical engineering. Both convective and diffusive processes are strongly influenced by the effect of disorder of granular matter in porous media, suspensions, fluidized beds or/and by the randomness caused in turbulent flow field. This book has been initiated by a NATO summer institute held in Cargese (Corsica, FRANCE) from June 15 th to 27 th 1987 . Its aim was to associate statistical physicists, fluid mechanicians and specialists of chemical engineering on the problems of the relation between disorder and mixing and, in this respect, this is a ...
