The liquid crystalline state may be identified as a distinct and
unique state of matter which is characterised by properties which
resemble those of both solids and liquids. It was first recognised
in the middle of the last century through the study of nerve myelin
and derivatives of cholesterol. The research in the area really
gathered momentum, however, when as a result of the pioneering work
of Gray in the early 1970's organic compounds exhibiting liquid
crystalline properties were shown to be suitable to form the basis
of display devices in the electronic products. The study of liquid
crystals is truly multidisciplinary and has attached the attention
of physicists, biologists, chemists, mathematicians and electronics
engineers. It is therefore impossible to cover all these aspects
fully in two small volumes and therefore it was decided in view of
the overall title of the series to concentrate on the structural
and bonding aspects of the subject. The Chapters presented in these
two volumes have been organised to cover the following fundamental
aspects of the subiect. The calculation of the structures of liquid
crystals, an account of their dynamical properties and a discussion
of computer simulations of liquid crystalline phases formed by Gay
Berne mesogens. The relationships between molecular conformation
and packing are analysed in some detail. The crystal structures of
liquid crystal mesogens and the importance of their X ray
scattering properties for characterisational purposes are
discussed.
The present volume entitled "Recent Contributions to Fluid
Mechanics" is dedicated to Professor Dr.-Ing. Alfred Walz in honour
of his 75th birthday. Alfred Walz, born on 11 May 1907, began his
outstanding career as an electrical engineer. A few years after
obtaining his university degree he became extremely engaged in
fluid dynamics. Walking in the footsteps of Prandtl he was able to
direct the development of theoretical activities in an inimitable
way. He had the great opportunity to work both as an engaged fluid
dynamicist -always trying to get to the bottom of things -and as a
popular and patient teacher. To all of these things - in his own
words - he gave his heart. Consequently, it is a great pleasure to
publish the following 34 contributions summarizing the efforts of
56 authors. These artic les in total cover the wide range of
experimental as well as theore tical fluid dynamics and reflect the
present state of the art. Moreover, all colleagues and friends of
Alfred Walz wish that he may be able to continue his work and his
influence on the work of all of us via his enlightening ideas.
