Control of fluid flow

Více o knize

Flow Control and Optimization is increasingly incorporated in the design of engineering devices ranging from aircraft and space vehicles to micro? uidic devices. Research in this ? eld aims to integrate knowledge in ? ow physics with theoretical advances and novel experimental capabilities and engineering devices capable of materializing advanced design concepts. In turn controlled ? ow phenomena exhibit a new arrays of physics and open frontiers for further interdisciplinary research in ? uid mechanics and all the engineering domains that it a? ects. This collection of papers in ? ow control, showcases representatives lines of work in the area of ? ow control demonstrating the interdisciplinary character and high scienti? c merit of this ? eld. The authors of these articles are among the pioneering researchers in this ? eld and continue to explore the frontiers in ? ow control and optimization. We hope that this volume, while largely representing work by the authors prior to 2004, contributes in providing an authoritative report on this rapidly changing ? eld.
