Experimentation Modeling and Computation in Flow, Turbulence and Combustion (Computational Methods in Mechanics and Applied Sciences) (Volume 2)

Volume 2 of this significant work presents previously unpublished cutting-edge lectures from the Third French-Russian Workshop on Fluid Dynamics held in Tashkent in April 1995. Reflecting the Workshop?s main themes, this book particularly focuses on:

• expermental investigation of unsteady separated flow, 3D configurations, laminar and transitional flows, turbulent shock, shock interaction in hypersonic flow, pressure pulsation in separated flows and jets and high enthalpy flows using wind tunnels.
• modeling of free surface flows, natural gas combustion, vortical gas flows and acoustic processes in complex channels, non-equilibrium hypersonic viscous flows, wall law for fluids and compressible fluid jets with vortex zones.
• theoretical predictions of aerodynamic performances with analyses of supersonic combustion, detonation, and sumulation of reactive mixing layer.
• solution methods for quasilinear parabolic equations and other calculations including incompressible Navier Stokes equations and parabolic equations by Monte-Carlo methods.
• numerical algorithms for the simulation of atmospheric gas dynamics, kinetic schemes for viscous gas dynamic flows and evolutionary algorithms for complex optimization problems.
