Advances in fluid mechanics; proceedings.1845641639 Advances in fluid mechanics fluid mechanics, branch of mechanics dealing with the properties and behavior of fluids, i.e., liquids and gases. Because of their ability to flow, liquids and gases have many properties in common not shared by solids. ; proceedings. International Conference on Advances in Fluid Mechanics (6th: 2006: Skiathos, Greece) Ed. by M. Rahman et al. WIT Press 2006 654 pages $380.00 Hardcover WIT transactions on engineering science; v.52 TA357 These proceedings of the conference of May 2006 include the 63 papers presented, describing the latest developments in theoretical and computational field mechanics. General topics include computational methods in field mechanics, experimental v. simulation methods, hydraulics and hydrodynamics hydrodynamics: see mechanics. Hydrodynamics The study of fluids in motion. The study is based upon the physical conservation laws of mass, momentum, and energy. , fluid structure interaction, convection, heat, mass transfer, boundary layer boundary layer In fluid mechanics, a thin layer of flowing gas or liquid in contact with a surface (e.g., of an airplane wing or the inside of a pipe). The fluid in the boundary layer is subjected to shear forces. flow, multiphase flow In fluid mechanics, multiphase flow is a generalisation of the modelling used in two-phase flow to cases where the two phases are not chemically related (e.g. dusty gases) or where more than two phases are present (e.g. in modelling of propagating steam explosions). , non-Newtonian fluids, wave studies, industrial applications, turbulence flows, biofluids and permeability problems. The US office of WIT Press is Computational Mechanics Computational mechanics is the subject/profession concerned with the use of computational methods and devices to study phenomena governed by the principles of mechanics. Before the emergence of computational science (also called scientific computing) as a "third way" besides . ([c]20062005 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR) |
