Turbulent Shear Flows 8 -

. .

Résumé :
This volume of the well-known series on turbulent shear flows contains in four parts, all provided with a carefully written introductory survey, the newest results on wall flows, separated flows, compressibility and curvature effects. The book addresses engineers, researchers and graduate students....
