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...

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...

This volume contains the proceedings of the Ninth GAMM-Conference on Numerical Methods in Fluid Mechanics, held at the Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne, Switzerland, on September 25-27, 1991. This conference, as weil as the preceding eight ones, was organized by the GAMM Committee on Numerical Methods in Fluid Dynamics. 1t was probably also the last one in this successful series of conferences, since in the future, a bi-annual European meeting on Computational Fluid Dynamics will be organized by ECCOMAS, a new organization, representing all existing European professional societies...
