Boundary Layer Flows - Modelling, Computation, and Applications of Laminar, Turbulent Incompressible and Compressible Flows

Vallampati Ramachandra Prasad

Vellore Institute of Technology

Dr. Prasad is a professor of Mathematics at Vellore Institute of Technology and a well-known researcher in the area of Mathematical Modelling, Fluid Dynamics and Boundary-Layer flows. He has used the numerical methods of finite difference, finite element, network simulation, and finite volume codes to solve problems in his areas of research in collaboration with US, Indian, Spanish, British, and Taiwanese researchers.

About the book

This book presents recent advances in boundary-layer flows and modern analytical and computational techniques can and should be combined to deepen the understanding of laminar and turbulent flows which may be compressible or incompressible. Mathematical Modelling, Computation of Laminar and turbulent flows which satisfy the requirements of Boundary Layers flows or thin shear approximation and its empirical and numerical calculations are included in the book. It also discusses the nature of transition, the effect of two-dimensional and isolated roughness on laminar flow, and progress in the design of low drag airfoils. A part on Atmospheric Boundary Layers which plays a very important role in deep ocean and circulations, measurements of wind turbulence will also be introduced. Different Numerical methods to solve boundary layer equations, their stability, and convergence are also discussed and presented.

This book will be multidisciplinary in its coverage and will be useful to engineers, scientists, researchers, and graduate students who have advanced knowledge in fluid mechanics, engineers who study the important problems of Modelling, computation, and design.

About the editor

Vallampati Ramachandra Prasad

Vellore Institute of Technology

Over the past decade, Prof. V. Ramachandra Prasad has worked in the areas of multi-physical fluids dynamics and numerical simulation. His work has investigated complex phenomena of interest in mechanical engineering, applied mathematics, chemical engineering, and material processing. He has made fundamental contributions in magnetic fluid dynamics, thermal radiation heat transfer, fluid modeling, micropolar non-Newtonian hydrodynamics, magnetic induction flows, viscoelastic liquid flows, porous media, and boundary flows. He has published more than 150 journal articles in these areas and has made numerous conference presentations. He has published six books on radiation heat transfer, thermo-diffusion and diffusion-thermo effects boundary layers’ flows, and viscoelastic flows. His more recent work has involved non-Newtonian fluid dynamics, fluid-particle suspensions, and lid-driven cavities. He has used the numerical methods of finite difference, finite element, network simulation, and finite volume codes to solve problems in his areas of research in collaboration with US, Indian, Spanish, British, and Taiwanese researchers. He is a professor of Mathematics at Vellore Institute of Technology, Vellore, India.

Introducing your Author Service Manager

Ms. Ana Cink

As an Author Service Manager my responsibilities include monitoring and facilitating all publishing activities for authors and editors. From chapter submission and review, to approval and revision, copyediting and design, until final publication, I work closely with authors and editors to ensure a simple and easy publishing process. I maintain constant and effective communication with authors, editors and reviewers, which allows for a level of personal support that enables contributors to fully commit and concentrate on the chapters they are writing, editing, or reviewing. I assist authors in the preparation of their full chapter submissions and track important deadlines and ensure they are met. I help to coordinate internal processes such as linguistic review, and monitor the technical aspects of the process. As an ASM I am also involved in the acquisition of editors. Whether that be identifying an exceptional author and proposing an editorship collaboration, or contacting researchers who would like the opportunity to work with IntechOpen, I establish and help manage author and editor acquisition and contact.
