Annual Review of Fluid Mechanics

Be the first to write a review

Overview

The 16 papers in the 2004 edition of the annual review focus on theories for understanding the motion of waves and new medical applications. The opening chapter chronicles early work published in Europe on the theory of water waves. Other topics include coating flows, Langmuir circulation, shock wave drag reduction, modeling of accidental explosions, turbulent flows over rough walls, biofluid mechanics in flexible tubes, ray models for internal waves, and experimental and computational methods for quantifying ...

Editorial Reviews

From The Critics
The 21 articles in this year's volume address sound propagation close to the ground, cavitation in vortical flows, non-coalescence and non- wetting behavior of liquids, boundary-layer receptivity to freestream disturbances, and ship wakes and their radar images. Other topics include one-point closure models for buoyancy-driven turbulent flows, wall layer models for large eddy simulations, and molecular orientation effects in viscoelasticity. The careers of three professors also are revisited. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
Booknews
Contains 21 reprinted articles on topics including Lewis Fry Richardson and his contributions to mathematics, meteorology, and models of conflict; aircraft laminar flow control; vortex dynamics in turbulence; interaction between porous media and wave motion; airplane trailing vortices; turbulence in astrophysics; vortex-body interactions; nonintrusive measurements for high-speed supersonic and hypersonic flows; direct simulation Monte Carlo; air-water gas exchange; computational hypersonic rarefied flows; direct numerical simulation; micro-electro-mechanical-systems (MEMS) and fluid flows; and fluid mechanics for sailing vessel design. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
Booknews
Presents recent work in fluid mechanics. Subjects include steady streaming, the fluid mechanics of fires, experiments on thermocapillary instabilities, surface pressure measurements using luminescent coatings, and spin-up of homogeneous and stratified fluids. Other topics are extrusion instabilities and wall slip, turbulent relative dispersion, mechanics of coastal forms, aerodynamics of high-speed trains, and modeling of fluid-structure interaction. Compression system stability and active control, spilling breakers, mathematical modeling and computer simulations of turbulent flows, and inertial effects in suspension and porous-mediated flows are also discussed. The editor is affiliated with Cornell University. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
