Progress in turbulence and wind energy IV

Mehr zum Buch

This fourth issue on "progress in turbulence" stems from the fourth ITI conference held in Bertinoro, North Italy, where leading researchers from engineering and physical sciences shared their latest findings. The collection highlights advancements in turbulence research, addressing the notoriously challenging and largely unresolved nature of turbulence. Contributions showcase significant progress in various areas, including enhanced numerical simulations, innovative experimental concepts, and new theoretical frameworks. The relevance of turbulence spans numerous applications, such as combustion, energy, flow control, and urban flows. A key motivation was to connect turbulence fundamentals with renewable energy, leading to a special focus on its impact on wind energy conversion. The book is organized into sections based on topics: I Basic Turbulence Aspects, II Particle Laden Flows, III Modeling and Simulations, IV Experimental Methods, V Special Flows, VI Atmospheric Boundary Layer, VII Boundary Layer, VIII Wind Energy, and IX Convection. This volume is dedicated to the memory of Prof. Tim Nickels, a world-class scientist and cherished member of the turbulence community, who passed away shortly after delivering an invited lecture at the conference.
