Closed-loop turbulence control is a critical enabler of aerodynamic drag reduction, lift
increase, mixing enhancement, and noise reduction. Current and future applications have …

This paper presents a review of the control of flow separation from solid surfaces by periodic
excitation. The emphasis is placed on experimentation relating to hydrodynamic excitation …

The ability to actively or passively manipulate a flow field to bring about a desired change is
of immense technological and economical importance. This volume provides a thorough, up …

Manufacturing processes that can create extremely small machines have been developed in
recent years. Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) refer to devices that have …

As traditional scientific disciplines individually grow towards their maturity, many new
opportunities for significant advances lie at their intersection. For example, remarkable …

Purpose Pressure, being one of the key variables investigated in scientific and engineering
research, requires critical and accurate measurement techniques. With the advancements in …

Since the first edition of this comprehensive handbook was published ten years ago, many
changes have taken place in engineering and related technologies. Now, this best-selling …

Thoroughly revised and updated, the new edition of the best-selling MEMS Handbook is
now presented as a three-volume set that offers state-of-the-art coverage of …

The development of the boundary layer and the interaction of the boundary layer with the
outer “inviscid” flow field, exacerbated at high speed by the occurrence of shock waves …

The behaviour of turbulent shear flow over a mass-neutral permeable wall is studied
numerically. The transpiration is assumed to be proportional to the local pressure …
