Book Description

1563962608 978-1563962608 August 1996
This work provides a comprehensive introduction to the field of compressible turbulent flows, for students, engineers, and scientists. It brings together recent results of research on the behaviour of turbulent shear layers at supersonic speed and presents some conclusions regarding our current understanding of these flows. This work is designed for researchers and graduate students in fluid dynamics, astrophysics, and chemical and mathematical physics.

Editorial Reviews

From the Back Cover

A good understanding of turbulent compressible flows is essential to the design and operation of high-speed vehicles. Such flows occur, for example, in the external flow over the surfaces of supersonic aircraft, and in the internal flow through the engines. Our ability to predict the aerodynamic lift, drag, propulsion and maneuverability of high-speed vehicles is crucially dependent on our knowledge of turbulent shear layers, and our understanding of their behavior in the presence of shock waves and regions of changing pressure. Turbulent Shear Layers in Supersonic Flow provides a comprehensive introduction to the field, and helps provide a basis for future work in this area. Wherever possible we use the available experimental work, and the results from numerical simulations to illustrate and develop a physical understanding of turbulent compressible flows. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
