J.M. Burgers (1895--1981) is regarded as one of the leading
scientists in the field of fluid mechanics, contributing many
important results, a number of which still bear his name. However,
the work of this outstanding scientist was mostly published in the
Proceedings and Transactions of The Royal Netherlands Academy of
Sciences, of which he was a distinguished member. Nowadays, this
work is almost impossible to obtain through the usual library
channels. Therefore, the editors have decided to reissue the most
important work of J.M. Burgers, which gives the reader access to
the original papers which led to important results, now known as
the Burgers Equation, the Burgers Vector and the Burgers Vortex.
Further, the book contains a biography of J.M. Burgers, which
provides the reader with both information on his scientific life,
as well as a rounded impression of the many activities which J.M.
Burgers performed or was involved in outside his science.
This volume is a compilation of contributions in applied mechanics,
dealing with both solid and fluid mechanics. The contributions are
based on material presented at the national mechanics congress held
in the Netherlands during November 16--18, 1992. The scope of the
volume covers both theoretical and applied issues, including the
following themes: Experimental mechanics, how to use modern
electronic equipment, optical techniques and software tools to
measure strain, stress, displacements, forces, etc. in both fluids
and solids. The analysis of localised effects on stiffness,
strength and stability of structures, like dikes, bridges, roads,
and all public works necessary to improve among other things the
navigability of canals and rivers. The analysis of damage processes
in concrete and fiber reinforced polymers and the quest to make
such processes accessible by numerical computation. The analysis of
localised effects on fluid flow, leading to more understanding of
the origin of the different colours of musical tones and human
speech, but also to more understanding of the pulsating flow of
blood through complicated shaped arteries and drag reduction in
turbulent flow through pipes or along walls, as a result of small
sized surface grooves or the addition of a very small amount of
polymer to liquids. The investigation of non-linearities in the
behaviour of dynamic systems such as manipulators, railway
vehicles, etc. Micromechanics and constitutive equations. In order
to describe complex material behaviour understanding of momentum
and heat transport on almost the molecular level is needed. This
emphasizes the importance of micromechanics in relation to the
ultimate strength of composite materials, ranging from fiber
reinforced plastics up to very high temperature resistant ceramics
toughened by thin hairlike crystals of exceptional mechanical
strength. Fluid-structure interactions, such as occur in non-rigid
pipelines and artery systems.
The European Turbulence Conferences have been organized under the
auspices of the European Mechanics Committee (Euromech) to provide
a forum for discussion and exchange of recent and new results in
the field of turbulence. The first conference was organized in Lyon
in 1986 with 152 participants. The second and third conferences
were held in Berlin (1988) and Stockholm (1990) with 165 and 172
participants respectively. The fourth was organized in Delft from
30 June to 3 July 1992 by the J.M. Burgers Centre. There were 214
participants from 22 countries. This steadily growing number of
participants demonstrates both the success and need for this type
of conference. The main topics of the Fourth European Turbulence
Conference were: Dynamical Systems and Transition; Statistical
Physics and Turbulence; Experiments and Novel Experimental
Techniques; Particles and Bubbles in Turbulence; Simulation
Methods; Coherent Structures; Turbulence Modelling and
Compressibility Effects. In addition a special session was held on
the subject of CeBular Automata. Each of the sessions was
introduced with a survey lecture. The lecturers were: W. Eckhaus,
AJ. Libchaber, L. Katgerman, F. Durst, M. Lesieur, B. Legras, D.G.
Dritschel and P. Bradshaw. The contributions of the participants
were subdivided into oral and poster presentations. In addition to
the normal program, some Speciai Interest Groups of Ercoftac
(European Research Community on Flow, Turbulence and Combustion)
presented their research activities in the form of a poster.
Progress in fluid mechanics depends heavily on the availability of
good experimental data which can inspire new ideas and concepts but
which are also necessary to check and validate theories and
numerical calculations. With the advent of new recording and image
analysis techniques new and promising experimental methods in fluid
flows have presented themselves which are rather newly developed
techniques such as particle tracking velocimetry (PTV), particle
image velocimetry (PIV) and laser fluorescene (LIF). This volume
presents state-of-the-art research on these techniques and their
application to fluid flow. Selected papers from the EUROMECH
conference on Image Analysis are published in this volume.
The Department of Applied Mechanics of the Royal Institution of
Engineers in the Netherlands (Koninklijk Instituut van Ingenieurs)
organised on April 2-4, 1990 the first National Applied Mechanics
Congress about the theme: "Integration of Theory and Applications
in Applied Mechanics" The idea behind this initiative was to bring
together the Applied Mechanics communities in The Netherlands and
Belgium and to create an environment in which new developments in
the field could be discussed and in which connections to other
disciplines could be established. Among an extensive list of
possible subjects the following were selected as congress topics: -
non-linear material behaviour, - chaos, - mechatronics, -
liquid-solid interactions, - mathematics and applied mechanics, -
integration of Applied Mechanics and other disciplines. Applied
Mechanics comprises both solid mechanics and fluid mechanics. These
can be subdivided further into: rheology, plasticity, theory of
plates and shells, theory of elasticity, multibody dynamics,
dynamics of continuous media, stability of the elastic equilibrium,
etc. Applied Mechanics is of tremendous practical significance and
it proves its value almost daily in applications such as the
calculation of the strength and stiffness of constructions, like e.

The study of turbulence in the atmosphere has seen considerable
progress in the last decade. To put it briefly: boundary-layer
meteorology, the branch of atmospheric science that concentrates on
turbulence in the lower atmosphere, has moved from the surface
layer into the boundary layer itself. The progress has been made on
all fronts: theoretical, numerical and observational. On the other
hand, air pollution modeling has not seen such a rapid evolution.
It has not benefited as much as it should have from the increasing
knowledge in the field of atmospheric turbulence. Air pollution
modeling is still in many ways based on observations and theories
of the surface layer only. This book aims to bring the reader up to
date on recent advances in boundary-layer meteorology and to pave
the path for applications in air pollution dispersion problems. The
text originates from the material presented during a short course
on Atmospheric Turbulence and Air Pollution Modeling held in The
Hague during September 1981. This course was sponsored and
organized by the Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute, xi xii
PREFACE to which both editors are affiliated. The Netherlands
Government Ministry of Health and Environmental Protection and the
Council of Europe also gave support.
