FLOMANIA - A European Initiative on Flow Physics Modelling

This volume contains results gained from the EU-funded 5^th Framework project, FLOMANIA (Flow Physics Modelling – An Integrated Approach). 17 European organisations, industry, research, and universities, have collaborated on topics of improvement of existing methods, investigation and integration of differential Reynolds Stress models for aeronautical applications and modelling of detached-eddy simulations (DES). The book presents an introduction to the project, exhibits partners’ methods and approaches, and provides comprehensive reports (i.e. definition as well as results) of all applications treated in the project. Moreover, a complete chapter is devoted to a description of turbulence models used by the partners together with a section on lessons learnt - accompanied by a comprehensive list of references.

All editors have been working for several decades in the books’ field of interest and are, thus, well aware of the current state-of-the-art in CFD and turbulence modelling in particular.
