Annual review of fluid mechanics. Volume 14
Abstract
Applications of fluid mechanics are discussed for the study of strongly nonlinear waves, the topology of three-dimensional separated flows, and the mathematical theory of frontogenesis. Attention is also given to turbulent jets and plumes, gravity currents in the laboratory, atmosphere, and ocean, and to low-gravity fluid flows, specifically for convective flows. The computation of transonic potential flows is considered, as are the strange attractor theory of turbulence, numerical methods in free-surface flows, and the fluid dynamics of heart valves.
