Bluff-Body Wakes, Dynamics and Instabilities - IUTAM Symposium, Göttingen, Germany September 7-11, 1992

Bluff-body wakes play an important role in many fluiddynamics problems and engineering applications.This book gives and up-to-date account of recent resultsobtained in the study of bluff-body wakes. Experimental,theoretical and numerical approaches are all comprehensivelycovered and compared. Topics of particular interest includehydrodynamic instability analyses, three-dimensional patternformation problems, flow control methods, bifurcationanalyses, numerical simulations and turbulence modelling.The main originality of thisvolume is that recentconceptual advances made to describe nonlinear phenomena ingeneral are put to the test on a classical problem infundamental fluid mechanics, namely the wake structuregenerated behind a bluff object.
