Computation of Three-Dimensional Complex Flows: Proceedings of the Imacs-Cost Conference on Computational Fluid Dynamics Lausanne, September 13-15, 19 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9783322898401)

The IMACS-COST conference on "Computational Fluid Dynamics, Three-Dimensional Complex Flows" was held in Lausanne, Switzerland, September 13 - 15, 1995. The scien- tific sponsors of the conference were - IMACS: International Association for Mathematics and Computers in Simulation, - COST: European Cooperation in the field of Scientific and Technical Research, - ERCOFTAC: European Research Community on Flow, Turbulence and Combus- tion. The scientific interests of the IMACS and ERCOFTAC associations are closely related to computational fluid dynamics whereas the European Union programme COST covers a wider range of scientific subjects. The COST' Action F1' launched in 1992 by Professor I. L. Ryhming deals with "Complex three-dimensional viscous flows: prediction, modelling, manipulation and control". It has several subtopics among which numerical methods and modelling issues are the main areas of research and development. The meeting gathered together eighty-seven scientists, engineers and researchers from sev- enteen countries: Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hong Kong, Israel, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, Norway, Russia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom, United States of America. All major numerical approximation methods were discussed: finite differences, finite volumes, finite elements, spectral methods. The topics covered by the sixty communications spanned the full spectrum of computational fluid dynam- ics: direct numerical simulation, large-eddy simulation, turbulence modelling, free surface flows, non Newtonian fluids, thermal convection, etc.
