The ability to actively or passively manipulate a flow field to bring about a desired change is of immense technological and economical importance. This volume provides a thorough, up-to-date treatment of the basics of flow control and control practices that can be used to produce desired effects. The author explores the frontiers of flow control strategies, especially as applied to turbulent flows. Intended for engineering and physics students, researchers, and practitioners, Flow Control brings together in a single source a wealth of state-of-the-art information on this very active field.

Book Description
This book provides a thorough, up-to-date treatment of the basics of flow control and control practices that can be used to produce desired effects. Among topics covered are transition delay, separation prevention, drag reduction, lift augmentation, turbulence suppression, noise abatement, and heat and mass transfer enhancement. The final chapter explores the frontiers of flow control strategies, especially as applied to turbulent flows.Intended for engineering students, researchers, and practitioners, Flow Control brings together in a single source a wealth of information on current practices and state-of-the-art developments in this very active field.

4.0 out of 5 stars
concise material for research student on fluid dynamics,
By
This review is from: Flow Control: Passive, Active, and Reactive Flow Management (Hardcover)
the content suit student who would like to study fluid dynamics in a more specific content. those content are important and critical in fluid. this new book has the quite new fleid like MEMS, it also has interesting historical note, and mixing. this book is useful.
