Description: "Many types of flow occur at large Reynolds numbers such as those around aircraft, ships, turbines and re-entry space vehicles. In such cases, the regions which are essentially influenced by the viscosity are thin boundary layers at the surface of a body and thin free shear layers originating from separation lines on the surface."--BOOK JACKET.

"This book has been written by leading experts in the field who describe the methods used for the calculation of flows at large Reynolds numbers: Inviscid flow methods, boundary-layer methods, viscous-inviscid interaction methods, and Navier Stokes equation methods. The authors present the state-of-the-art in these calculations, describe recent advances and compare the numerical results with experimental data as far as they exist."--BOOK JACKET.

"Flows at Large Reynolds Numbers is essential reading for scientists and engineers, who need to be aware of the applications of numerical methods in this field."--BOOK JACKET.
