Computation and Visualization of Three-Dimensional Vortical and Turbulent Flows

This volume contains selected papers of the Fifth French-German Workshop on „Computation and visualization of three-dimensional vortical and turbulent flows“ held at TU München in December 6-7, 1996. The twenty-one extensive papers contained in this book report on recent research supported by the CNRS and the DFG in the field of numerical methods and algorithms, large-eddy simulation (LES) of turbulent free and wall-bounded flows, of direct numerical simulation (DNS) of turbulent flows involving compressibility, buoyancy, rotation and magnetic fields, in the area of DNS of transitional flows, DNS and LES of turbulent combustion, but also modelling of vortical external and internal flows. The authors made efforts in visualizing the flow they computed which provides invaluable insights into complex flow structures and fluid motions.
