Stochastic Methods in Fluid Mechanics

Stochastic Methods in Fluid Mechanics

Since their first introduction in natural sciences through the work of Einstein on Brownian motion in 1905 and further works, in particular by Langevin, Smoluchowski and others, stochastic processes have been used in several areas of science and technology. For example, they have been applied in chemical studies, or in fluid turbulence and for combustion and reactive flows. The articles in this...

Dynamic Localization Phenomena un Elasticity, Acoustics and Electromagnetism

Dynamic Localization Phenomena un Elasticity, Acoustics and Electromagnetism

Properties of wave localization play a decisive role both in applications of engineered microstructures and in the detection of cracks and flaws. The papers in this volume give an introduction into a variety of interrelated dynamic localization phenomena occurring in elasticity, acoustics and electromagnetism. In particular, these involve surface and edge waves and also trapped modes localized ...

Noise Sources in Turbulent Shear Flows: Fundamentals and Applications

Noise Sources in Turbulent Shear Flows: Fundamentals and Applications

The articles in this volume present the state-of-the-art in noise prediction, modeling and measurement. The articles are partially based on class notes provided during the course `Noise sources in turbulent shear flows', given at CISM on April 2011. The first part contains general concepts of aero acoustics, including vortex sound theory and acoustic analogies, in the second part particular...
