Numerical flow simulation I. CNRS-DFG Collaborative Research Programme, results 1996-1998 (Q4223585)

Topics of fluid dynamics dealt with in this book are turbulence, combustion, convection and interface problems. The volume is divided into four chapters, i.e. ``development of solution techniques'', ``crystal growth and melts'', ``flows of reacting gases'', and ``turbulent flows''. The publication is product of projects that rely on the cooperation of a French and a German partner, and stimulates the cooperation between engineers and applied mathematicians. The volume contains twenty contributions of work conducted since 1996 in the French-German Research Programme ``Numerical Flow Simulation'' of the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) and the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG). The main purpose of this publication is to give an overview of the work conducted in the programme, and to make the results obtained available to the public. The contents of the book are of great interest to mathematicians and engineers working in computational fluid dynamics.
