Editorial Reviews
Book Description
This volume contains the Proceedings of the IUTAM Symposium on Mechanics of Passive and Active Flow Control, held at the DLR, Göttingen, in September 1998. This follows an earlier IUTAM Symposium on Turbulence Management and Relaminarisation which was held in Bangalore in 1987.
The last decade has witnessed significant advances and research activity in the area of flow control/management, triggered by technological applications as well as scientific curiosity in understanding the structure of complex flows. This volume contains both review and contributed papers in the area of flow control, with emphasis on fluid dynamical mechanisms underlying different passive and active control techniques used in a variety of flows such as bumps, roughnesses, riblets, vortex generators, suction blowing, sound and MEMS; issues such as new control concepts and control strategies are also addressed. The application areas include drag reduction, transition, turbulence and separation, many relevant to aeronautical systems.
This volume is very timely and contains a wealth of information on current research in the broad subject of flow control concepts and applications; it should be of particular interest to scientists, engineers and students pursuing research in flow control.
