Vortex Rings and Jets
Recent Developments in Near-Field Dynamics
Language: English
Release Date: March 26, 2015
In this book, recent developments in our understanding of fundamental vortex ring and jet dynamics will be discussed, with a view to shed light upon their near-field behaviour which underpins much of their far-field characteristics. The chapters provide up-to-date research findings by their respective...

Transport Processes in Macroscopically Disordered Media
From Mean Field Theory to Percolation
Language: English
Release Date: September 2, 2016
This book reflects on recent advances in the understanding of percolation systems to present a wide range of transport phenomena in inhomogeneous disordered systems. Further developments in the theory of macroscopically inhomogeneous media are also addressed. These developments include galvano-electric,...
IUTAM Symposium on The Physics of Wall-Bounded Turbulent Flows on Rough Walls
Proceedings of the IUTAM Symposium on The Physics of Wall-Bounded Turbulent Flows on Rough Walls, held Cambridge, UK, July 7-9, 2009
Language: English
Release Date: September 8, 2010
The study of wall-bounded turbulent ows is of considerable interest from both scienti c and practical view points. As such it has attracted a great deal of research over the last 100 years. Much research has concentratedon ows over smooth walls since these are simpler from experimental, numerical...

Understanding Viscoelasticity
An Introduction to Rheology
Language: English
Release Date: July 27, 2017
This book presents an introduction to viscoelasticity, in particular, to the theories of dilute polymer solutions and dilute suspensions of rigid particles in viscous and incompressible fluids. These theories are important, not just because they apply to practical problems of industrial interest,...

Elasto-Plasticity of Frame Structure Elements
Modeling and Simulation of Rods and Beams
Language: English
Release Date: August 13, 2014
The finite element method is a powerful tool even for non-linear materials’ modeling. But commercial solutions are limited and many novel materials do not follow standard constitutive equations on a macroscopic scale. Thus, is it required that new constitutive equations are implemented into the...
