they represented a congeries of varied languages, cultures and
traditions. Moreover the status of Germany, in theory ruled by the
Hapsburgs in their capacity of Holy Roman Emperors, had since the
conclusion of the Thirty Years War been in some doubt. In practice
the Hapsburgs could count on obedience always in their family
dominions, not particularly extensive and mostly concentrated in
the West (Vorderosterreich); sometimes in the South German Catholic
states; and virtually not at all in the Protestant North. Then,
too, in the second half of the seventeenth century Prussia had
emerged as a power, which although still technically a part of the
Empire, was increasingly capable and willing to pursue a thoroughly
independent course. The position of Charles VI was thus not an
entirely happy one. The long run alternatives which would seem to
have confronted him were either to acquiesce in the continuing
erosion of Hapsburg influence in Germany, which ultimately might
well have resulted in his ruling over a Danubian Empire with a
German-speaking minority; or to try to buttress his position in
Germany, which would have required eventually a viable modus
vivendi between his German and non-German subjects.
Comprehensive, unique coverage of turbulent flow including modern prediction and measurement Turbulent Flow presents the essential physical and analytical background that enables readers to make informed decisions when choosing the best method for the study and prediction of turbulent flows. Critical focus is given to experimental and numerical methods as well as what these methods have revealed about turbulent motion. Coverage includes an introduction to turbulence theory, the fundamental equations of turbulent flow and their meaning, the techniques used in physical experiments and computer simulations, a review of the progress made in understanding the properties of turbulence, turbulence closures and their applications, and large eddy simulation methods. Cutting-edge material includes: - State-of-the-art turbulence closure and simulation techniques
- Up-to-date presentations of major theoretical and experimental advances
- Vortex analysis of turbulence structure, transport, and modeling
Turbulent Flow is an essential book for students and an invaluable reference for mechanical and aerospace engineers, physicists and mathematicians in related disciplines, and engineers and scientists in such fields as chemical, biological, and ocean engineering.
"The Complete Poems of T. H. Jones "reveals the iconoclastic life
of an English-speaking Welshman who spent most of his maturity as
an emigrant professor in Australia. T. H. Jones's sensational and
alcohol-fueled life ended prematurely when he drowned in a swimming
pool after a trip to a bar. In surprising contrast to his wayward
life, Jones's "black book" meticulously logged a copy of every poem
he wrote in chronological draft form--making his collected life's
work an unusually complete window into the development of a poet's
craft. This exciting volume contains an outline of Jones's career,
a full bibliography and review of critical materials, as well as a
discussion of poetic technique and a detailed annotation of each
poem and chronologically evoking the poet's life, loves,
aspirations, and despair from adolescence to premature death.
