Annual review of fluid mechanics. Volume 16
Abstract
Selected topics in fluid mechanics are examined in reviews of recent theoretical and experimental research. Graphs, diagrams, drawings, and photographs taken from and/or summarizing the publications surveyed are provided. Topics discussed include wave action and wave/mean-flow interaction, numerical simulation of turbulent flows, nonlinear interactions in liquid He II, secondary flow in curved open channels, vortex shedding from oscillating bluff bodies, optical techniques, aeroacoustics of turbulent shear flows, supercritical-wing design, and perturbed free shear layers. For individual items see A84-22577 to A84-22588
