A Voyage Through Turbulence
Biographies of twelve of the leading personalities in turbulence research chart the development of the subject from Reynolds onward.
Quantum Turbulence
Bringing together two previously distinct strands of physics, this text introduces the interdisciplinary field of quantum turbulence, the realm of quantum fluids and vortices in superfluid helium and atomic Bose–Einstein condensates. Covering state-of-the-art methods and results, it is an essential read for students and seasoned researchers alike.
A Voyage Through Turbulence
Turbulence is widely recognized as one of the outstanding problems of the physical sciences, but it still remains only partially understood despite having attracted the sustained efforts of many leading scientists for well over a century. In A Voyage Through Turbulence we are transported through a crucial period of the history of the subject via biographies of twelve of its great personalities, starting with Osborne Reynolds and his pioneering work of the 1880s. This book will provide absorbing reading for every scientist, mathematician and engineer interested in the history and culture of turbulence, as background to the intense challenges that this universal phenomenon still presents.
Advances in Computation, Modeling and Control of Transitional and Turbulent Flows
' The role of high performance computing in current research on transitional and turbulent flows is undoubtedly very important. This review volume provides a good platform for leading experts and researchers in various fields of fluid mechanics dealing with transitional and turbulent flows to synergistically exchange ideas and present the state of the art in the fields. Contributed by eminent researchers, the book chapters feature keynote lectures, panel discussions and the best invited contributed papers. Contents:Keynote Speakers:Large-Eddy Simulation of the Navier-Stokes Equations: Deconvolution, Particle Methods, and Super-Resolution (A Leonard)Convective Transport in the Sun (S M Hanaso...
Ten Chapters in Turbulence
Leading experts summarize our current understanding of the fundamental nature of turbulence, covering a wide range of topics.
Perspectives and Problems in Nonlinear Science
Lawrence Sirovich will turn seventy on March 1, 2003. Larry's academic life of over 45 years at the Courant Institute, Brown University, Rockefeller University and the Mount Sinai School of Medicine has touched many peo ple and several disciplines, from fluid dynamics to brain theory. His con tributions to the kinetic theory of gases, methods of applied mathematics, theoretical fluid dynamics, hydrodynamic turbulence, the biophysics of vi sion and the dynamics of neuronal populations, represent the creative work of an outstanding scholar who was stimulated mostly by insatiable curios ity. As a scientist, Larry has consistently offered fresh outlooks on classical and difficult subjects, and m...
Flow at Ultra-High Reynolds and Rayleigh Numbers
Scientists have learned to use liquid and gaseous helium to overcome the limitations imposed by the usual wind and water tunnels for testing the performance of aircraft or the behavior of the atmosphere. This book covers fundamental studies of the turbulence problem, practical applications of turbulence, superfluid turbulence, cryogenic turbulence research, and new types of miniature flow instrumentation, all which are crucial for high Reynolds number research. This state-of-the-art presentation will interest physicists in fluid dynamics, engineers working with turbulent flows, and naval and aerospace engineers testing realistic parameter ranges.
Selected Topics of Computational and Experimental Fluid Mechanics
This book contains invited lectures and selected contributions presented at the Enzo Levi and XIX Annual Meeting of the Fluid Dynamic Division of the Mexican Physical Society in 2013. It is aimed at fourth year undergraduate and graduate students, and scientists in the fields of physics, engineering and chemistry who are interested in fluid dynamics from an experimental and theoretical point of view. The invited lectures are introductory and avoid the use of complicated mathematics. The fluid dynamics applications include multiphase flow, convection, diffusion, heat transfer, rheology, granular material, viscous flow, porous media flow, geophysics and astrophysics. The material contained in the book includes recent advances in experimental and theoretical fluid dynamics and is suitable for both teaching and research.
IUTAM Symposium on One Hundred Years of Boundary Layer Research
This book collects peer-reviewed lectures of the IUTAM Symposium on the 100th anniversary of Boundary Layer research. No other reference of this calibre, on this topic, is likely to be published for the next decade. Covers classification, definition and mathematics of boundary layers; instability of boundary layers and transition; boundary layers control; turbulent boundary layers; numerical treatment and boundary layer modelling; special effects in boundary layers.
Advances in Applied Mechanics
This highly acclaimed series provides survey articles on the present state and future direction of research in important branches of applied solid and fluid mechanics.Mechanics is defined as a branch of physics that focuses on motion and on the reaction of physical systems to internal and external forces.
