The European Computational Fluid Dynamics Conference and the European Conference on Numerical Methods in Engineering are major large scale events attracting the whole international community engaged in Computational Methods in Applied Sciences. The 146 papers, including many colour illustrations, in this two part volume cover topics such as: Numerical Methods: Finite difference, finite and boundary elements, volume methods; Spectral methods; Convergence acceleration methods: multigrid, pre-conditioning; Domain decomposition, zonal methods; Massively parallel and vector computing on new architectures; Mesh generation and adaptive grid refinement; Visualization techniques; Particle and microscopic simulation methods. Modelizations and Applications: Innovative algorithms for Euler and Navier-Stokes equations; Laminar and turbulent flows; Turbulence and transition modelization; Direct simulation of turbulence; Multiphase and reacting flows; Heat transfer and combustion; Free surface problems; Non-Newtonian fluids; Flow in porous media; Industrial applications for low to high speed internal and external flows.The volumes will prove a useful and dynamic tool for those wishing to increase their knowledge of Computational Methods in Applied Sciences, as well as providing a guide to recent literature in this rapidly expanding area.

Viscous flow is treated usually in the frame of boundary-layer theory and as two-dimensional flow. Books on boundary layers give at most the describing equations for three-dimensional boundary layers, and solutions often only for some special cases. This book provides basic principles and theoretical foundations regarding three-dimensional attached viscous flow. Emphasis is put on general three-dimensional attached viscous flows and not on three-dimensional boundary layers. This wider scope is necessary in view of the theoretical and practical problems to be mastered in practice. The topics are weak, strong, and global interaction, the locality principle, properties of three-dimensional viscous flow, thermal surface effects, characteristic properties, wall compatibility conditions, connections between inviscid and viscous flow, flow topology, quasi-one- and two-dimensional flows, laminar-turbulent transition and turbulence. Though the primary flight speed range is that of civil air transport vehicles, flows past other flying vehicles up to hypersonic speeds are also considered. Emphasis is put on general three-dimensional attached viscous flows and not on three-dimensional boundary layers, as this wider scope is necessary in view of the theoretical and practical problems that have to be overcome in practice. The specific topics covered include weak, strong, and global interaction; the locality principle; properties of three-dimensional viscous flows; thermal surface effects; characteristic properties; wall compatibility conditions; connections between inviscid and viscous flows; flow topology; quasi-one- and two-dimensional flows; laminar-turbulent transition; and turbulence. Detailed discussions of examples illustrate these topics and the relevant phenomena encountered in three-dimensional viscous flows. The full governing equations, reference-temperature relations for qualitative considerations and estimations of flow properties, and coordinates for fuselages and wings are also provided. Sample problems with solutions allow readers to test their understanding.
