Computational Simulations and Applications

Abstract

conference and colloquium presentations in 21 countries. He also served on the editorial boards of six international journals and numerous conference organizing committees. Over the last two decades, his research and education projects have been funded by over $6 million in grants from the USA federal agencies and industrial partners. ContentsPreface XIII Part Research and Numerical Algorithms in Computational Fluid Dynamics Simulations 1 Chapter Reynolds Stress Transport Modelling 3 Sharaf F. Al-Sharif Chapter Study of Some Key Issues for Applying LES to Real Engineering Problems 27 XIV Preface 9 -12), fluid heat exchange (chapter 13 -14), airborne contaminant dispersion over buildings and atmospheric flow around a re-entry capsule (chapter 15 -16), gas-solid two phase flow in long pipes (chapter 17), free surface flow around a ship hull (chapter 18), and hydrodynamic analysis of electrochemical cells (chapter 19).  Part III covers applications of non-CFD based computational simulations, including atmospheric optical communications (chapter 20), environmental studies involving climate system simulations, porous media flow, and combustion (chapter 21 -23), solidification (chapter 24), and sound field simulations for optimal acoustic effects (chapter 25). I am grateful to InTech for the opportunity to serve as the editor for this book, and I wish to sincerely thank all contributing authors around the world for their diligence in following editorial guidelines, their willingness to support open access publications, and their valuable technical contributions that made this book possible. Special thanks are due to Ms. Ana Nikolic, Mr. Zeljko Spalj, and the technical staff at InTech for their editorial efforts, detailed reviews, and professional assistance. I also would like to thank the University of Texas at Arlington for supporting my participation in this book project. Without the support from the authors, InTech staff, and the University, this book could not have become a reality.
