This book contains the proceedings of an IUTAM Symposium on
turbulent flows at low Mach number, in which fluctuations in
density occur as a result of heat transfer or of mixing of
different fluids. Such flows occur in the atmosphere, the ocean,
and in chemical engineering. In addition, in combustion large
fluctuations in density occur as a result of heat release; the
flows that are considered here do not involve heat release, for the
most part, but the variable density flows that are considered can
serve as a paradigm for many of the problems that arise in
combustion as a result of the density fluctuations. Compressible
flows - such as supersonic ones - are also considered in order to
underline their similarities to and their differences from
low-speed variable density flows. The book will be of interest to
mechanical, aerospace, civil, and chemical engineers,
meteorologists and oceanographers - in fact, anyone who deals with
fluids in which fluctuations of density occur. The book will be
accessible to professional and graduate students. There are no
other works that deal with this interesting area.
