Publisher's Note
The 42 papers are concerned with turbulent flows at low Mach numbers, fluctuations in density that occur as a result of heat transfer or of the mixing of different fluids, and which are found in the atmosphere, the ocean and in chemical engineering. They cover instabilities, modelling and experiments, buoyancy effects, industrial applications, measurement methods, and compressible flows to explore similarities and differences with low-speed flows. Such flows are of interest because the conservation equations for thermodynamics, mass, and momentum are linked together; because in the jet or wake configuration the flows can develop self-exciting oscillations related to the absolute instability of the nozzle region; and because they can contribute to the understanding of parallels between chemical reactions and aerodynamics. Of interest to any scientist or engineer who deals with flows. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
