Synopsis

These two volumes contain the proceedings of the Workshop on Transition, Turbulence and Combustion, sponsored by the Insti­ tute for Computer Applications in Science and Engineering (ICASE) and the NASA Langley Research Center (LaRC), during June 7 to July 2, 1993. Volume I contains the contributions from the transi­ tion research, and Volume II contains the contributions from both the turbulence and combustion research. This is the third workshop in the series on the subject. The first was held in 1989, the second in 1991, and their proceedings were published by Springer-Verlag under the titles "Instability and Transition" (edited by M. Y. Hussaini and R. G. Voigt) and "Instability, Transition and Turbulence" (edited by M. Y. Hussaini, A. Kumar and C. L. Streett) respectively. The objectives of these workshops are to expose the academic community to current technologically important issues of transition, turbulence and combustion, and to acquaint the academic commu­ nity with the unique combination of theoretical, computational and experimental capabilities at LaRC. It is hoped these will foster con­ tinued interactions, and accelerate progress in elucidating the funda­ mental phenomena of transition, turbulence and combustion. The research areas of interest in transition covered the full range of the subject: linear and nonlinear stability, direct and large-eddy simulation and phenomenological modeling of the transition zone.

About this title

Synopsis

These two volumes are concerned with current technologically important issues of transition, turbulence and combustion. Topics covered in "Transition" include linear and nonlinear stability, direct and large-eddy simulation and phenomenological modelling of the transition zone. In "Turbulence", interest was focused on second-order closures and the formulation of near-wall corrections to existing high Reynolds number models, and closure model development based on turbulent flow structures and RNG theory. The topics covered in "Combustion" include counterflow diffusion flames, development of novel mixing enhancement techniques for non-premixed combustion, and methods of modelling the interaction between turbulence and chemical kinetics. This collection of papers from leading researchers represents as yet unpublished state-of-the-art research, resulting in a very valuable tool for scientists and students working in areas of turbulence, transition and combustion.
