Vorticity And Turbulence Effects in Fluid Structure Interactions ― An Application to Hydraulic Structure Design

In these 11 papers contributors describe a wide range of research to bring it to attention to the wider scientific community. Written primarily for fluid mechanics scientists but also suitable for postgraduate students and practitioners, the papers cover such topics as techniques of research and results in coherent structures of wallbounded turbulence, results on large eddy simulations of some environmental flows, nearshore mixing and macrovortices, large scale circulation in shallow lakes, multiple states in open channel flow, flow-induced excitations on basic shape structures, air entrainment in vertical dropshafts, variational methods in sloshing problems, scalar dispersing within canopies, flow solvers for liquid-to-liquid impacts and turbulence, friction and energy dissipation in transient pipe flow.
