De Gruyter Homogenization Methods: Effective Properties of Composites
Book SynopsisAlmost all materials are inhomogeneous at the microscale. Typical examples are fiber- and grain structures made of anisotropic phases. These cannot be accounted for in detail in engineering calculations. Instead, effective, homogeneous material properties are used. These are obtained from the inhomogeneous structures by homogenization methods. This book provides a structured overview of the analytical homogenization methods, including the most common estimates, bounds, and Fourier methods. The focus is on linear and anisotropic constitutive relationships, like Hookean elasticity and Fourier’s law for thermal conduction. All sections are accompanied by example calculations, including program code that is also available online.

Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG Screw Compressors: Mathematical Modelling and Performance Calculation
Book SynopsisAlthoughtheprinciplesofoperationofhelicalscrewmachines,ascompressors or expanders, have been well known for more than 100 years, it is only during the past 30 years that these machines have become widely used. The main reasons for the long period before they were adopted were their relatively poor e?ciency and the high cost of manufacturing their rotors. Two main developments led to a solution to these di?culties. The ?rst of these was the introduction of the asymmetric rotor pro?le in 1973. This reduced the bl- hole area, which was the main source of internal leakage by approximately 90%, and thereby raised the thermodynamic e?ciency of these machines, to roughly the same level as that of traditional reciprocating compressors. The second was the introduction of precise thread milling machine tools at - proximately the same time. This made it possible to manufacture items of complex shape, such as the rotors, both accurately and cheaply. From then on, as a result of their ever improving e?ciencies, high rel- bility and compact form, screw compressors have taken an increasing share of the compressor market, especially in the ?elds of compressed air production, and refrigeration and air conditioning, and today, a substantial proportion of compressors manufactured for industry are of this type. Despite, the now wide usage of screw compressors and the publication of many scienti?c papers on their development, only a handful of textbooks have been published to date, which give a rigorous exposition of the principles of their operation and none of these are in English.Table of ContentsScrew Compressor Geometry.- Calculation of Screw Compressor Performance.- Principles of Screw Compressor Design.- Examples of Modern Screw Compressor Designs.- Conclusions.

Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG Springer Handbook of Experimental Fluid Mechanics
Book SynopsisThis key text is a major reference work – a totally authoritative handbook on a major current topic. It consolidates state-of-the-art information from the large number of disciplines used in Experimental Fluid Mechanics into a readable desk reference book. It comprises four parts: Experiments in Fluid Mechanics, Measurement of Primary Quantities, Specific Experimental Approaches, and Analyses and Post-Processing of Data. The book has been prepared for physicists and engineers in research and development in universities, in industry and in other research institutions. Both experimental methodology and techniques are covered fundamentally and for a wide range of application fields. A generous use of citations directs the reader to additional material on each subject.Trade ReviewFrom the reviews: "Handbooks are reference works for daily use by two main groups of people: on the one hand by experienced scientists, and by engineers or physicists … . And, on the other hand, by students … . due to the breadth and depth, this book serves both groups excellently. … In summary, the community of fluid mechanics today has in their hands a highly valuable and important new book, which is a major reference in our science and will soon become a standard reference." (Günter Brenn, International Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer, Vol. 51, 2008) "The stated purpose of this 1500 page handbook is to provide comprehensive information to the experimental fluid mechanics community for planning, executing, and interpreting experiments. … A DVD-ROM PDF version of the handbook accompanies the hardback book. … The book is excellent for a user who wants to obtain some information on a given topic without reading and digesting many papers. … production quality is excellent too. … The high-quality drawings, photos, and figures are clearly labeled and captioned." (Roger L. Simpson, American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics Journal, Vol. 46 (10), 2008)Table of ContentsIntroductionThe expression: "analytical work", often connotes an effort in which basic expressions are combined to analyze a given problem and to derive new information and insight from the resulting mathematical steps of the analysis. Specifically, having started with the appropriate relationships and bringing appropriate mathematical manipulations to the task, the analyst is able to create new information to address the motivating question(s).A central organizing theme of this handbook is that ‘experimental fluid mechanics" can be understood as a parallel activity to that described above. The motivating questions will set the context for the experiment. The experiment will be established as a boundary value problem in which the experimentalist will address all aspects of the boundary conditions that will influence the "solution." If a transient or an evolving solution is sought, the appropriate initial conditions will similarly be addressed.Having established these conditions, the solution to the boundary value problem will be revealed in the experimental data that will – ideally – not be contaminated by unintended or unknown perturbing effects and that will be fully converged if statistical average values are sought. Part A Experiments in Fluid Mechanics The objective of Part A is to establish the fundamental concepts and equations that undergird experimental fluid mechanics. The first chapter: addresses both the governing equations and the constitutive equations for Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids. Chapter 2 provides the systematic bases for model testing and the scaling of experimental results. Sections 2.1 through 2.7 derive similitude parameters (Reynolds number, Froude number, etc.) from the governing equations and the boundary conditions. Dimensional analysis (Sect. 2.2) provides a rational approach for the organization and interpretation of experimental data; Sect. 2.3, self-similarity, documents known flow fields that exhibit this condition and it provides guidance on what other flows may exhibit this behavior. The encyclopedic presentation of examples will allow the reader to comprehend the universal features of both complete and incomplete self-similarity. Chap. 1 The Experiment as a Boundary-Value ProblemChap. 2 Nondimensional Representation of the Boundary-Value ProblemPart B Measurement of Primary QuantitiesThe objective of Part B is to provide specific information to the reader on the following primary quantities: material properties (Chap. 3), flow field properties (Chap. 4 – pressure, Chap. 5 – velocity, vorticity, Mach number, Chap. 6 – spatial density variations and Chap. 7 – temperature and heat flux) and forces and moments (Chap. 8). Chapter 3 is focused on providing quantitative information for the material properties, the sources of this information and the associated confidence levels for the given data. Chapters 4 through 8 provide comprehensive guidance to the reader on: i) the objectives, ii) the available equipment, iii) the utilization techniques, and iv) the post-processing of the primitive information for the stated quantities. Chap. 3 Material Properties: Measurement and DataChap. 4 Pressure Measurement SystemsChap. 5 Velocity, Vorticity and Mach NumberChap. 6 Spatial Density VariationsChap. 7 Temperature, Concentration and Heat FluxChap. 8 Forces and Moments Part C Specific Experimental ApproachesBuilding on the previous two parts of this Springer Handbook, which have dealt with the fundamental concepts and equations that undergrid experimental fluid mechanics and the measurement of primary quantities, respectively, Part C addresses experimental fluid mechanics from an application point of view. According to application, often unique and specific forms of equipment, experimental procedure, or analysis and interpretation of results have been developed. It is the purpose of Part C to elucidate a selection of such application areas, in particular measurements of non-Newtonian flows, turbulence, flow visualization, wall-bounded flows, surface topology, turbomachines, hydraulics, aerodynamics, atmospheric and oceanographic measurements, combustion diagnostics and electrohydrodynamic systems.Chap. 9 Non-Newtonian FlowsChap. 10 Measurement of Turbulent FlowsChap. 11 Flow VisualizationChap. 12 Wall-Bounded FlowsChap. 13 Surface TopologyChap. 14 TurbomachinesChap. 15 HydraulicsChap. 16 AerodynamicsChap. 17 Atmospheric MeasurementsChap. 18 Oceanographic MeasurementsChap. 19 The No-Slip Boundary ConditionChap. 20 Combustion DiagnosticsChap. 21 Electrohydrodynamic SystemsPart D Analyses and Post-Processing of Data This final part of the Springer Handbook is actually meant to be a reference source about single and data processing techniques commonly encountered in fluid mechanics. These topics have been complemented by a section discussing data acquisition by imaging detectors, a topic becoming increasingly important for optical measurement techniques. These are all subjects, which in their development are not naturally associated with fluid mechanics; hence Part D attempts to collect information from many diverse sources and present them conveniently to the fluid mechanic researcher. Topics covered in this part include fundamental topics of signal and data processing transforms (Fourier, Hilbert, wavelet), proper orthogonal decomposition and stochastic estimation. This is followed by a discussion of estimator expectation and variance and the influence of noise on these quantities. The Cramèr-Rao Lower Bound (CRLB) is introduced and developed for several common signal processing examples from fluid mechanics. Imaging detectors and measures of their performance are then discussed in detail before closing with a chapter on image processing and motion analysis, two topics especially relevant for the Particle Image Velocity (PIV) measurement technique.

Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG Separated and Vortical Flow in Aircraft Wing Aerodynamics: Basic Principles and Unit Problems
Book SynopsisFluid mechanical aspects of separated and vortical flow in aircraft wing aerodynamics are treated. The focus is on two wing classes: (1) large aspect-ratio wings and (2) small aspect-ratio delta-type wings. Aerodynamic design issues in general are not dealt with. Discrete numerical simulation methods play a progressively larger role in aircraft design and development. Accordingly, in the introduction to the book the different mathematical models are considered, which underlie the aerodynamic computation methods (panel methods, RANS and scale-resolving methods). Special methods are the Euler methods, which as rather inexpensive methods embrace compressibility effects and also permit to describe lifting-wing flow. The concept of the kinematically active and inactive vorticity content of shear layers gives insight into many flow phenomena, but also, with the second break of symmetry---the first one is due to the Kutta condition---an explanation of lifting-wing flow fields. The prerequisite is an extended definition of separation: “flow-off separation” at sharp trailing edges of class (1) wings and at sharp leading edges of class (2) wings. The vorticity-content concept, with a compatibility condition for flow-off separation at sharp edges, permits to understand the properties of the evolving trailing vortex layer and the resulting pair of trailing vortices of class (1) wings. The concept also shows that Euler methods at sharp delta or strake leading edges of class (2) wings can give reliable results. Three main topics are treated: 1) Basic Principles are considered first: boundary-layer flow, vortex theory, the vorticity content of shear layers, Euler solutions for lifting wings, the Kutta condition in reality and the topology of skin-friction and velocity fields. 2) Unit Problems treat isolated flow phenomena of the two wing classes. Capabilities of panel and Euler methods are investigated. One Unit Problem is the flow past the wing of the NASA Common Research Model. Other Unit Problems concern the lee-side vortex system appearing at the Vortex-Flow Experiment 1 and 2 sharp- and blunt-edged delta configurations, at a delta wing with partly round leading edges, and also at the Blunt Delta Wing at hypersonic speed. 3) Selected Flow Problems of the two wing classes. In short sections practical design problems are discussed. The treatment of flow past fuselages, although desirable, was not possible in the frame of this book.Table of ContentsIntroduction.- Separation: Some Relevant Boundary-Layer Properties, Interaction Issues, and Drag.- Elements of Vortex Theory.- The Local Vorticity Content of a Shear Layer.- The Matter of Discrete Euler Solutions for Lifting Wings.- About the Kutta Condition.- Topology of Skin-Friction and Velocity Fields.- Large Aspect-Ratio Wing Flow.- Particular Flow Problems of Large Aspect-Ratio Wings.- Small Aspect-Ratio Delta-Type Wing Flow.- Selected Flow Problems of Small Aspect-Ratio Delta-Type Wings.- Solutions of the Problems.

Springer Verlag, Singapore Urban Wind Environment: Integrated
Book SynopsisIn the context of urbanization and compact urban living, conventional experience-based planning and design often cannot adequately address the serious environmental issues, such as thermal comfort and air quality. The ultimate goal of this book is to facilitate a paradigm shift from the conventional experience-based ways to a more scientific, evidence-based process of decision making in both urban planning and architectural design stage. This book introduces novel yet practical modelling and mapping methods, and provides scientific understandings of the urban typologies and wind environment from the urban to building scale through real examples and case studies. The tools provided in this book aid a systematic implementation of environmental information from urban planning to building design by making wind information more accessible to both urban planners and architects, and significantly increasing the impact of urban climate information on the practical urban planning and design. This book is a useful reference book to architectural postgraduates, design practitioners and planners, urban climate researchers, as well as policy makers for developing future livable and sustainable cities.Table of ContentsCHAPTER 1INTRODUCTION 1.1 NECESSARY COMPACT URBAN PLANNING1.2 NEGATIVE EFFECTS OF COMPACT URBAN PLANNING 1.3 CLIMATE SENSITIVE PLANNING AND DESIGNCHAPTER 2METHODOLOGY 2.1 METHOD OUTLINE 2.2 TARGET CITIES AND EXISTING PLANNING SYSTEM 2.3 MORPHOLOGICAL METHOD 2.4 COMPUTATIONAL FLUID DYNAMICS (CFD) SIMULATIONCHAPTER 3WIND ENVIRONMENT IN URBAN PLANNING 3.1 FRONTAL AREA DENSITY 3.2 MODELLING TEST 3.3 A CASE STUDY IN HONG KONG3.4 A CASE STUDY IN WUHAN 3.5 SUMMARY CHAPTER 4WIND ENVIRONMENT IN MASTER PLANNING4.1 MODELLING DEVELOPMENT 4.2 MODELLING TEST 4.3 A CASE STUDY IN HONG KONG4.4 SUMMARY CHAPTER 5WIND ENVIRONMENT IN ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN 5.1 OPTIONAL TURBULENCE MODEL 5.2 COMPUTATIONAL PARAMETRIC STUDY 5.3 RESULTS AND DISCUSSION 5.4 A CASE STUDY IN HONG KONG5.5 SUMMARY CHAPTER 6AIR QUALITY IN ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN AND URBAN PLANNING6.1 OPTIONAL TURBULENCE MODELS6.2 COMPUTATIONAL PARAMETRIC STUDY 6.3 AIR QUALITY IN ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN 6.4 AIR QUALITY IN URBAN PLANNING 6.5 A CASE STUDY IN HONG KONG6.6 SUMMARY CHAPTER 7INTEGRATED IMPLEMENTATION IN PLANNING AND DESIGN 7.1 ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES IDENTIFICATION 7.2 LAND USE DENSITY GUIDELINES 7.3 BUILDING DESIGN GUIDELINES7.4 A CASE STUDY IN SINGAPORE7.5 SUMMARY BIBLIOGRAPHY

Springer Verlag, Singapore Coupled Heat and Mass Transfer in Binary Mixtures
Book SynopsisSupercritical pressure fluids have been exploited in many engineering fields, where binary mixtures are frequently encountered. This book focuses on the coupled heat and mass transfer in them, where the coupling comes from cross-diffusion effects (i.e., Soret and Dufour effects) and temperature-dependent boundary reactions. Under this configuration, three main topics are discussed: relaxation and diffusion problems, hydrodynamic stability, and convective heat and mass transfer. This book reports a series of new phenomena, novel mechanisms, and an innovative engineering design in hydrodynamics and transport phenomena of binary mixtures at supercritical pressures. This book covers not only current research progress but also basic knowledge and background. It is very friendly to readers new to this field, especially graduate students without a deep theoretical background.Table of ContentsIntroduction.- Mass Piston Effect: Theory on the Acoustic Timescale.- Mass Piston Effect: Dynamic Relaxation on the Diffusion Timescale.- Binary Rayleigh-Bénard Instability: Model and Linear Theory.- Binary Rayleigh-Bénard Instability: Nonlinear Theory.- A Novel Application: Coupled Extraction and Crystal Growth.- Conclusions.
