Bøger i Fluid Mechanics and Its Applications serien

This book explores the working principles of all kinds of turbomachines. Fundamentals are first presented and theoretical concepts are then elaborated for particular machine types, starting with the simplest ones.For each machine type, the author strikes a balance between building basic understanding and exploring knowledge of practical aspects.

This book examines Electromagnetic Processing of Materials (EPM). It helps readers to grasp the concept of transport phenomena including mass, heat, momentum and magnetic field and apply it to create new materials or develop reasonable materials processes.

This book offers a thorough overview of the transition phenomena in subsonic, wall-bounded shear flows. The text is supplemented by computational guides, recommended exercises, and PowerPoint multimedia notes based on results of real scientific experiments.

This volume shows how tracers can be used to follow the flow of fluids. It also develops a variety of models to represent these flows. It includes examples and problems to help enhance understanding of concepts.

Critical regimes of two-phase flows with a polydisperse solid phase form the basis of such widespread industrial processes as separation of various powdery materials and minerals dressing.

This fully revised second edition focuses on physical phenomena and observations in turbulence, and is focused on reversing misconceptions and ill-defined concepts. New topics include ergodicity, Eulerian versus Lagrangian descriptions, theory validation, and anomalous scaling.

This book defines the turbulence inverse problem and offers a solution technique. It also explains normal burning transition, and the turbulence inverse problem is set and solved as applied to plasma channels created by laser Besselian beams.

This monograph is entirely devoted to convection in fluids. It presents a unified rational approach of various convective phenomena in fluids where the main driving mechanism is the buoyancy force or temperature-dependent surface tension in homogeneities.

This book examines the considerable advances in recent years in the theory of laminar-flow instability and transition to turbulence. Collects new material on instability to finite-amplitude disturbances, much of which was available only in research papers.

In this book, the Russian expertise in the field of the design of precise vacuum mechanics is summarized. A wide range of physical applications of mechanism design in electronic, optical-electronic, chemical, and aerospace industries is presented in a comprehensible way.

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

This book describes physical, mathematical and experimental methods to model flows in micro- and nanofluidic devices.

This book gives a mathematical insight--including intermediate derivation steps--into engineering physics and turbulence modeling related to an anisotropic modification to the Boussinesq hypothesis (deformation theory) coupled with the similarity theory of velocity fluctuations.Through mathematical derivations and their explanations, the reader will be able to understand new theoretical concepts quickly, including how to put a new hypothesis on the anisotropic Reynolds stress tensor into engineering practice. The anisotropic modification to the eddy viscosity hypothesis is in the center of research interest, however, the unification of the deformation theory and the anisotropic similarity theory of turbulent velocity fluctuations is still missing from the literature. This book brings a mathematically challenging subject closer to graduate students and researchers who are developing the next generation of anisotropic turbulence models.Indispensable for graduate students, researchers and scientists in fluid mechanics and mechanical engineering.

This book contains a selection of research papers presented at the 11th and 12th International Ship Stability Workshops (Wageningen, 2010 and Washington DC, 2011) and the 11th International Conference on Stability of Ships and Ocean Vehicles (Athens, 2012).

This book describes physical, mathematical and experimental methods to model flows in micro- and nanofluidic devices.

The aim of the present book is to present theoretical nonlinear aco- tics with equal stress on physical and mathematical foundations. Still adhering to the subject - scribed in the title of the book of Rudenko and Soluyan, we attempt to include applications and techniques developed after the appearance of, or not included in, this book.

This book provides comprehensive coverage of both the fluid and material aspects of cavitation erosion. It details facilities and measurement techniques commonly used in cavitation erosion studies and presents various stages of cavitation damage.

In this book, recent developments in our understanding of fundamental vortex ring and jet dynamics will be discussed, with a view to shed light upon their near-field behaviour which underpins much of their far-field characteristics.

Elementary vortices - those tubular swirling vortical structures with concentrated vorticity commonly observed in various kinds of turbulent flows - play key roles in turbulence dynamics (e.g.

Contains refereed papers presented at the IUTAM/LMS sponsored symposium on "Non-Uniqueness of Solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations and their Connection with Laminar-Turbulent Transition" held in Bristol 2004. This volume aims to capture the flavour of the discussions.

Modern experiments and numerical simulations show that the long-known coherent structures in turbulence take the form of elongated vortex tubes and vortex sheets.

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

The ultrasonic velocity profile (UVP) method, first developed in medical engineering, is now widely used in clinical settings. The fluid mechanical basis of UVP was established in investigations by the author and his colleagues with work demonstrating that UVP is a powerful new tool in experimental fluid mechanics.

Elementary vortices - those tubular swirling vortical structures with concentrated vorticity commonly observed in various kinds of turbulent flows - play key roles in turbulence dynamics (e.g.

Proceedings of the IUTAM Symposium held in Goettingen, Germany, 2-6 September 2002

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.
