Download or read book Near-wall Turbulent Flows written by Ronald M. C. So and published by Elsevier Publishing Company. This book was released on 1993 with total page 1072 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Knowledge of near-wall turbulence from experimental, theoretical and numerical sources is accumulating at an ever increasing rate. An overview of the latest important developments is reported and discussed in depth in this volume with the goal of stimulating closer dialogue between researchers in all areas of near-wall turbulence. The full text of 95 contributed papers cover a broad range of topics in near-wall turbulent flows that includes boundary layers, coherent structures, drag reduction, experimental methods, high speed flows, numerical simulations, transition and turbulent modeling. The innovativeness of the contributions demonstrates that near-wall turbulence remains a vital and dynamically evolving field with important technological consequences for the future.
