This book presents the results of a European-Chinese collaborative research project, Manipulation of Reynolds Stress for Separation Control and Drag Reduction (MARS), including an analysis and discussion of the effects of a number of active flow control devices on the discrete dynamic components of the turbulent shear layers and Reynolds stress. From an application point of view, it provides a positive and necessary step to control individual structures that are larger in scale and lower in frequency compared to the richness of the temporal and spatial scales in turbulent separated flows.

This book is one of three volumes entitled "ECARP-European Computational Aerodynamics Research Project", which was supported by the European Union in the Aeronautics Area of the Industrial and Materials Technology Programme. This volume contains optimization techniques for a number of inviscid and viscous problems like drag reduction, inverse, multipoint, wing-pylon-nacelle and riblets (Part A); and methodologies for solving the Navier Stokes equations on parallel architectures for compressible viscous flows in two and three dimensions (Part B). The main objective of this book is to disseminate information about cost effective methodologies for practical design problems and parallel CFD to be used by computer scientists and multidisciplinary engineers.

This volume contains a set of different methodologies and solutions for a number of selected optimum design problems in Aerospace Engineering. The methodologies for the solution of these problems cover optimization and inverse problems, external and internal flows, subsonic and transsonic regimes, different flow solvers and different discretizations schemes. These were presented in a workshop during the EUROPT BRITE/ EURAM project. This book will be of interest to a wide range of readers, including engineers and scientists working in computing, optimization and control theory. Undergraduate and graduate students in computer science and aerospace engineering will also find the contents of this book a valuable reference.
Dieser Band enthalt Methoden und Losungen fur Probleme desoptimalen Designs in der Luftfahrt. Sie umfassen Fragestellung aus der Optimierung, der inversen Probleme, der inneren und ausseren Flusse, Unter- und Uberschall sowie verschiedene Diskretisierungsschemata. Die Beitrage stammen von einem Workshop, der wahrend des BRIETE/ EURAM-Projekts EUROPT abgehalten wurde."
