Aerothermodynamics, Nonlinear Acoustics and the Meteorological Equations
The study of low-Mach-number flows occurs in the general context of asymptotic modelling of fluid flows, and in a recent book (Zeytounian 2004, Chap....

Some Aspects of Low-Mach-Number External Flows
In this chapter, we consider first, in Sect. 4.1, a detailed derivation of the Navier–Fourier initial–boundary–value problem for the Navier velocity...

Comparison of Single and Two‐Fluid Approaches
The results of the “0D„ analyses gathered in Tables 5.1 and 6.1 and discussed in Sects. 5.3 and 6.2 provide the basis for comparing Dam's к–ε and...

Conclusion, Future Modeling Trends
The relevance of this study stands not in the topics that have been discussed, since most of them have already been explored for many years now, but...

Single‐Fluid Approach: Example of Dam's к–ε Model
The statistical equations for the turbulent flow of an incompressible fluid are found in the literature [58], but they are adapted here to the...

Specific Treatment of Shocks: Constraints on Models1
Before examining the phenomenology of the interaction between a shock and turbulent or material heterogeneities, it is useful to recall that the...
-
Two‐Fluid Approach: Example of Awe's Model
Two‐fluid descriptions often use explicitly separate treatments for the conservation equations in each fluid, along with expressions for exchange...

Charge Transport and Catalysis by Molecules Confined in Polymeric Materialsand Application to Future Nanodevices for Energy Conversion
Polymeric materials confining functional molecules are one of the most promising materials for designing nanodevices for energy conversion, e.g.,...

Slow Atmospheric Motion as a Low-Mach-Number Flow
First, in Sect. 6.1, we discuss in detail various facets of the applicability of the Boussinesq approximation to slow atmospheric motion. In Sect....

The Many Faces of the Asymptotics of Low-Mach-Number Flows
It has long been known (Janzen 1913 and Rayleigh 1916) that asymptotic methods provide a sound way of describing incompressible aerodynamics...

A First Approach to the Asymptotics of Low-Mach-Number Flows
In this chapter, we describe an initial (rather ‘naive’) approach to the asymptotics of low-Mach-number flows, based mainly on consideration of the...

Some Perspectives on Further Developments of Models1
Faced with the insufficiencies of the basic single‐fluid models, such as Dam's к‐ε, several authors [13–26,167] have rightly identified the source of...
