ADVANCES IN FLUID MODELING AND TURBULENCE MEASUREMENTS
Proceedings of the 8th International Symposium on Flow Modeling and Turbulence Measurements
Tokyo, Japan 4 - 6 December 2001

edited by A Wada (Nihon University, Japan), H Ninokata (Tokyo Institute of Technology, Japan) & N Tanaka (CRIEPI, Japan)

This book is an essential reference for engineers and scientists working in the field of turbulence. It covers a variety of applications, such as: turbulence measurements; mathematical and numerical modeling of turbulence; thermal hydraulics; applications for civil, mechanical and nuclear engineering; environmental fluid mechanics; river and open channel flows; coastal problems; ground water.
