This volume contains contributions to the BRITE-EURAM 3rd Framework Programme ETMA and extended articles of the TMA-Workshop. It focusses on turbulence modelling techniques suitable to use in typical flow configurations, with emphasis on compressibility effects and inherent unsteadiness. These methodologies are applied to the Navier-Stokes equations, involving various turbulence modelling levels from algebraic to RSM. Basic turbulent flows in aeronautics are considered; mixing layers, wall-flows (flat-plate, backward-facing step, ramp, bump), and more complex configurations (bump, aerofoil)....

This volume contains the description of an EC-sponsered program to study all relevant aspects of shock/ boundary-layer interaction control, the latter designed to improve aircraft performance at design (cruise) and off-design conditions. The work being presented includes a discussion of basic control experiments and the corresponding physical modeling, to account for shock control and a discussion of the airfoil experiments conducted for code validation and control assessment, in conjunction with the basic experiments and computations. The contents is comprised of a section giving a broad...

The aim of the 1989 GAMM Workshop on 3D-Computation of Incompressible Internal Flows was the simulation of a realistic incompressible flow field in an important industrial application. In view of the difficulties involved in formulating such a test case, requiring the availability of an experimental data base, extreme care had to be taken in the selection of the proper one. Professor I. L. Ryhming's proposal, that the flow through a Francis turbine configuration or parts thereof would be feasible as a test case, because of the numerical challenges as well as the possibility to produce an...

The advent of the computer has drastically changed and widened the field of applied mathematics. The "graphical and numerical methods" taught some thirty years ago rather incoherently in small courses have given way to a broad and complex treatment from very different view-points, and the struggle for ever-in-creasing accuracy has brought forth a considerable diver sification according to the different fields of application. The mathematical theorist, striving for general theorems and unified methods, might regret this development but as long as the demands of practical problems surpass what...

This volume contains papers presented to a EUROMECH-Colloquium held in Munich, September 30 to October 2, 1985. The Colloquium is number 199 in a series of colloquia inaugurated by the European Mechanics Committee. The meeting was jointly organized by the 'Lehrstuhl fur Stromungsmechanik' at the 'Technische Universitat Munchen' and the 'Institut fur Physik der Atmosphare' of the 'Deutsche Forschungs- und Versuchsanstalt fur Luft- und Raumfahrt' (DFVLR) in Oberpfaffenhofen. 'Direct' and 'large eddy simulation' are terms which denote two closely con- nected methods of turbulence research. In a...

The GAMM Committee for "Efficient Numerical Methods for Partial Differential Equations" organises seminars on subjects concerning the algorithmic treatment of par tial differential equations. The topics are discretisation methods like the finite element and the boundary element method for various types of applications in structural and fluid mechanics. Particular attention is devoted to the advanced solution methods. The series of such seminars was continued in 1994, January 14-16, with the 10th Kiel-Seminar on the special topic Fast Solvers for Flow Problems at the...

Geissel in den weniger entwickelten tropischen Landern sind die (im weitesten Sinne) infektiosen Erkrankungen, und gerade gegen sie vermag die Val ksmedi zi n zumeist weniger auszurichten als unsere hochentwickelte Pharmazie (vgl. H. VELIMIROVIC in diesem Band). Es mag einen "unspezifischen Heiler-Effekt" geben, etwa das, was man hierzulande z. T. etwas abschatzig als die "Droge Arzt" bezeichnet. Wenn man einige Hei 1 er aus einer gegebenen Ethni e quasi als Consi 1 i ari i zu einem Patienten rufen wurde, kamen sie, das ist jedenfalls die Erfahrung aus Melanesien, wahrscheinlich selten zu...

This is one in a series of workshops organized by the GAID1 Specialist Group for Numerical Methods in Fluid Hechanics (GAMM-Fachausschuss flir Numerische Hethoden in der Stromungs mechanik) whose purpose is to bring together the small group of researchers actively working on a sharply defined topic in order to discuss in detail their problems and experiences, to promote direct comparison and critical evaluation of algorithms, and to stimulate new ideas for numerical methods in fluid dynamics. The chairmen of this workshop were A. Rizzi of FFA, Sweden, and H. Viviand of ONERA, France. 2....

This volume collects the results of a workshop held at Aachen, West-Germany, Oct. 12 - Oct. 14, 1981. The purpose in bringing together scientists actively working in the field of numerical methods in flame propagation was two-fold: 1. To confront them with recent results obtained by large ac tivation-energy asymptotics and to check these numerically. 2. To compare different numerical codes and different trans port models for flat flame calculations with complex che mistry. Two test problems were formulated by the editors to meet these objectives. Test problem A was an unsteady propagating...
