Furthermore, with correct implementation, they can constitute an alternative sanction to the m... More

Unsteady separated flows are an important topic in theoretical and applied mechanics. The IUTAM Symposium held in Corfu in 2007 (and following on from a previous meeting in Toulouse in 2002) aimed at achieving a unified approach which will regroup the knowledge coming from theoretical, experimental,...

This book addresses flow separationwithin the context of fluid-structure interaction phenomena.   Here, newfindings from two research communities focusing on fluids and structures arebrought together, emphasizing the importance of a unified multidisciplinaryapproach. The book covers the theory, exp... More

This book reports on the latest knowledge concerning critical phenomena arising in fluid-structure interaction due to movement and/or deformation of bodies. The focus of the book is on reporting progress in understanding turbulence and flow control to improve aerodynamic / hydrodynamic performance b... More

This book contains a thorough and unique record of recent advances in the important scientific fields fluid–structure interaction, acoustics and control of priority interest in the academic community and also in an industrial context regarding new engineering designs. It updates advances in these fi... More
