TY - GEN AU - Corke, Thomas C. TI - Flow control: a fluid instability approach SN - 9781108832366 U1 - 629.8042 PY - 2024/// CY - Cambridge PB - Cambridge University Press KW - Unsteady flow -- Fluid dynamics KW - Boundary layer KW - Turbulence N2 - This book provides a comprehensive treatment of passive and active flow control in fluid dynamics, with an emphasis on utilizing fluid instabilities for enhancing control performance. Examples are given from a wide range of technologically important flow fields occurring in aerospace applications, from low-subsonic to hypersonic Mach numbers. This essential book can be used for both research and teaching on the topics of fluid instabilities, fluid measurement and flow actuator techniques, and problem sets are provided at the end of each chapter to reinforce key concepts and further extend readers' understanding of the field. The solutions manual is available as a online resource for instructors. The text is well suited for both graduate students in fluid dynamics and for practising engineers in the aerodynamics design field. End-of-chapter problem sets: reinforces concepts and stimulates critical thinking Multifunctional: can be used as a primary or supplemental text on fluid instabilities, fluid measurement and flow actuator techniques Real-life examples and applications: included throughout to consolidate and extend readers' understanding ER -
