Advances in Fluid Mechanics V

This book contains edited papers presented at a March 2004 conference on the latest developments in theoretical and computational fluid mechanics. Material is organized in sections on advanced computational methods, hydrodynamics, wave studies, multiphase flow, biofluids, and industrial applications. Transcritical transitions in swirling quasi- columnar flows, motions of floating bodies in time harmonic waves, and deposition of small particles from turbulent flows are some subjects discussed. Other topics examined include viscometric studies of oil- in-water mixtures at low shear rates, simulation of blood flow inhuman vessels, and simulation of complex biological flows and flow control problems on Cartesian grids. There is no subject index. The US office of WIT Press is Computational Mechanics. Annotation c2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
