The field of fluid mechanics is vast and has numerous and diverse
applications. Presented papers from the 11th International
Conference on Advances in Fluid Dynamics with emphasis on
Multiphase and Complex Flow are contained in this book and cover a
wide range of topics, including basic formulations and their
computer modelling as well as the relationship between experimental
and analytical results. Innovation in fluid-structure approaches
including emerging applications as energy harvesting systems,
studies of turbulent flows at high Reynold number, or subsonic and
hypersonic flows are also among the topics covered. The emphasis
placed on multiphase flow in the included research works is due to
the fact that fluid dynamics processes in nature are predominantly
multi-phased, i.e. involving more than one phase of a component
such as liquid, gas or plasma. The range of related problems of
interest is vast: astrophysics, biology, geophysics, atmospheric
processes, and a large variety of engineering applications.
Multiphase fluid dynamics are generating a great deal interest,
leading to many notable advances in experimental, analytical, and
numerical studies in this area. While progress is continuing in all
three categories, advances in numerical solutions are likely the
most conspicuous, owing to the continuing improvements in computer
power and the software tools available to researchers. Progress in
numerical methods has not only allowed for the solution of many
practical problems but also helped to improve our understanding of
the physics involved. Many unresolved issues are inherent in the
very definition of multiphase flow, where it is necessary to
consider coupled processes on multiple scales, as well as the
interplay of a wide variety of relevant physical phenomena.
