Turbulent Shear Flows

Abstract

The meeting was held in order to clarify understanding of the basic physical structure of turbulent shear flows such as boundary layers, jets and wakes, in non-reacting flows of gas. Factors considered were the basic structure of 'equilibrium' shear flows and the influence of compressibility, pressure gradients, surface curvature, three-dimensional flows, noise, density and/or temperature gradients. Thirty-four papers were presented, four being invited from internationally known authors to present an overview of the field of turbulent shear flows. Papers in Session I present new information on the structure of the boundary layer. Session 2 covers theoretical treatments. Papers in Sessions 3 and 5 are particularly concerned with new experimental boundary layer results, and in Session 4 with jets and wakes. Papers in Session 6 cover a series of special areas in turbulent shear flows.
