Publisher's Synopsis
This volume contains twenty reports on work, which is conducted since 1996 in the Collaborative Research Programme "Numerical Flow Simulation" of the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) and the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG). French and German engineers and mathematicians present their joint research on the topics "Development of Solution Techniques", "Crystal Growth and Melts", "Flow of Reacting Gases" and "Turbulent Flows". In the background of their work is the strong growth of the performance of high-performance computer architectures, which presently is opening vast new application areas of numerical flow simulation in research and industrial work.
