Turbulence (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9783319161594)

Christophe Bailly is a Professor of Fluid Dynamics and Acoustics at Ecole Centrale de Lyon (ECL). He graduated from ECL (1990), and received his PhD from Ecole Centrale Paris (ECP) in 1994. He joined the Laboratoire de m馗anique des fluides et d'acoustique (LMFA, UMR CNRS 5509) at ECL in 1995. As a lecturer, he served at ECP (1995-2006) and has served at the Ecole nationale sup駻ieure des techniques avanc馥s (ENSTA) since 2001. In 2007, he was appointed a junior member at the Institut universitaire de France. His research activities lie in the area of turbulence and aeroacoustics. He was awarded the Yves Rocard Prize from the French Society of Acoustics (1996) and the Alexandre Joannid鑚 Prize from the Academy of Sciences (2001). He is currently an associate editor of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics Journal since 2005.

Genevi钁e Comte-Bellot obtained her under-graduate diploma in 1953 at the University of Grenoble and her Master degree in Paris in 1954, at the Ecole Normale Sup駻ieure. She obtained her Ph Degree in 1963 at the University of Grenoble in the Department of fluid dynamics. Just after having completed her PhD, Genevi钁e Comte-Bellot obtained a post-doc position at the Johns Hopkins University in the team of Professor Stanley Corrsin in Fluid Mechanics. Coming back to France, Genevi钁e Comte-Bellot, became a professor at the Ecole Centrale de Lyon (ECL), which is connected to the University of Lyon. There, she launched research into aeroacoustics and founded the Centre Acoustique at ECL. During the same time, Genevi钁e Comte-Bellot improved and used the constant voltage anemometer which permits to measure velocity fluctuations even when large amplitudes are present. Presently, she continues working to obtain temperature fluctuations. Genevi钁e Comte-Bellot is an Emeritus Professor at ECL, corresponding member of the Acad駑ie des sciences in Paris, member of the French Acad駑ie des technologies and associate member of the American National Academy of Engineering.
