Flow and Transport Processes with Complex Obstructions: Applications to Cities, Vegetative Canopies and Industry
The NATO Advanced Study Institute “Flow and Transport Processes in Complex - structed Geometries: from cities and vegetative canopies to engineering problems” was held in Kyiv, Ukraine in the period of May 4 - 15, 2004. This book based on the papers presented there provides an overview of this new area in—fluid mechanics and its app- cations that have developed over the past three decades. The subject, whose origins lie both in theory and in practice, is now rapidly developing in many directions. The focus of applied—fluid mechanics research has steadily been shifting from - gineering to environmental applications. In both fields there has been great interest in the study of flows around obstacles; initially single isolated obstacles, and then groups, together with the effects of nearby resistive surfaces, such as the walls of a pipe, the ground or a free surface in hydraulics. Simplified theoretical analysis began with studies of axisymmetric and cylind- cal free-mounted bodies. However other methods had to be used for quantifying the complete flow fields past arbitrary blu? bodies, either by using experiments or, when powerful computers became available, by direct calculation and solution of the full equations of fluid dynamics. In most practical cases the Reynolds numbers are too large to compute all the small scale eddy motions which therefore have to be described statistically.
