Book Description
Mixing may be thought of as the operation by which a system evolves from one state of simplicity (initial segregation) to another state of simplicity (complete uniformity). Between these two extremes, complex patterns emerge and die. Questions naturally arise- how can the geometry of complex patterns be characterised, what is the time scale of the process, what structures are involved in the flow? This volume, comprising the proceedings of the NATO ASI on Mixing, attempts to address these questions from the approaches of geometry, kinetics and structure. The ASI which brought together diverse communities with a common interest in the problem of mixing, now provides us with a comprehensive work on the problem of mixing.

New Approaches and Concepts in Turbulence
Author : T. Dracos
Publisher : Springer Science & Business Media
Page : 450 pages
File Size : 40,63 MB
Release : 1993-09-01
Category : Technology & Engineering
ISBN : 9783764329242
Book Description
This book contains the proceedings of a colloquium held in Monte Verità from September 9-13, 1991. Special care has been taken to devote adequate space to the scientific discussions, which claimed about half of the time available. Scientists from all over the world presented their views on the importance of kinematic properties, topology and fractal geometry, and on the dynamic behaviour of turbulent flows. They debated the importance of coherent structures and the possibility to incorporate these in the statistical theory of turbulence, as well as their significance for the reduction of the degrees of freedom and the prospective of dynamical systems and chaos approaches to the problem of turbulence. Also under discussion was the relevance of these new approaches to the study of the instability and the origin of turbulence, and the importance of numerical and physical experiments in improving the understanding of turbulence.
Introduction to Geophysical Fluid Dynamics
Author : Benoit Cushman-Roisin
Publisher : Academic Press
Page : 850 pages
File Size : 50,50 MB
Release : 2011-08-26
Category : Science
ISBN : 0080916783
Book Description
Introduction to Geophysical Fluid Dynamics provides an introductory-level exploration of geophysical fluid dynamics (GFD), the principles governing air and water flows on large terrestrial scales. Physical principles are illustrated with the aid of the simplest existing models, and the computer methods are shown in juxtaposition with the equations to which they apply. It explores contemporary topics of climate dynamics and equatorial dynamics, including the Greenhouse Effect, global warming, and the El Nino Southern Oscillation. - Combines both physical and numerical aspects of geophysical fluid dynamics into a single affordable volume - Explores contemporary topics such as the Greenhouse Effect, global warming and the El Nino Southern Oscillation - Biographical and historical notes at the ends of chapters trace the intellectual development of the field - Recipient of the 2010 Wernaers Prize, awarded each year by the National Fund for Scientific Research of Belgium (FNR-FNRS)

Advances in Turbulence VII
Author : Uriel Frisch
Publisher : Springer Science & Business Media
Page : 630 pages
File Size : 25,93 MB
Release : 2012-12-06
Category : Science
ISBN : 9401151180
Book Description
Advances in Turbulence VII contains an overview of the state of turbulence research with some bias towards work done in Europe. It represents an almost complete collection of the invited and contributed papers delivered at the Seventh European Turbulence Conference, sponsored by EUROMECH and ERCOFTAC and organized by the Observatoire de la Côte d'Azur. New high-Reynolds number experiments combined with new techniques of imaging, non-intrusive probing, processing and simulation provide high-quality data which put significant constraints on possible theories. For the first time, it has been shown, for a class of passive scalar problems, why dimensional analysis sometimes gives the wrong answers and how anomalous intermittency corrections can be calculated from first principles. The volume is thus geared towards specialists in the area of flow turbulence who could not attend the conference as well as anybody interested in this rapidly moving field.
Flow and Heat Transfer in Rotating-disc Systems
Author : John Michael Owen

Page : 312 pages
File Size : 21,21 MB
Release : 1989
Category : Science
ISBN : 9780863800900
Book Description
Discussing fluid mechanics and heat transfer in rotating-disc systems, this text simplifies and extends existing information to provide a basic understanding of the subject. Physical insight, mathematical models and experimental data are used to explain the flow structure and provide theoretical methods and correlations which will be of use to research workers and designers.
