Physics of Separated Flows — Numerical, Experimental, and Theoretical Aspects

Meer over het boek

This volume features 37 contributions summarizing research conducted from 1984 to 1990 under the Priority Research Program „Physik abgeloster Stromungen“ by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG). The program focused on exploring phenomena related to separated flows, aiming to develop physical models and prediction methods based on detailed experimental investigations. Scientists from various technical fields, including aerodynamics of wings and bodies, automobiles, turbomachinery, ship hydrodynamics, hydraulics, internal flows, heat exchangers, bio-fluid dynamics, and the aerodynamics of buildings, participated in this collaborative effort. The program emphasized basic research on generic geometric configurations that illustrate fundamental physical phenomena of separated flows. The dedication and enthusiasm of all participating scientists are commendable, with annual meetings organized to facilitate progress reporting. Special acknowledgment is given to Prof. E. A. Muller, Prof. H. Oertel jun., Dr. W. Schmidt, Dr. H.-W. Stock, and Dr. B. Wagner for their roles as referees during these meetings, contributing significantly to the program's success.
