Overview

Containing the proceedings of the tenth International Conference on Advances in Fluid Mechanics it follows the success of all previous conferences in the series, the first of which took place in 1996. The field of fluid mechanics is vast and has numerous, diverse applications. This book covers a wide range of topics, including basic formulations and their computer modelling as well as the relationship between experimental and analytical results. The emphasis is on new applications and research currently in progress. Topics covered include: Computer Simulation and Experiments; Fluid Structure Interaction; Multiphase Flow; Turbulent Flow; Bubble and Drop Dynamics; Nan and Micro Fluids; Heat and Mass Transfer; Hydrodynamics; Porous Media Flow; Industrial Applications.
