Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Motivated by the application to high-lift aerodynamics for commercial transport aircraft, a systematic investigation into the response of symmetric/asymmetric planar turbulent wake development to constant adverse, zero, and favorable pressure gradients has been conducted. The experiments are performed at a Reynolds number of 2.4 million based on the chord of the wake generator. A unique feature of this wake study is that the pressure gradients imposed on the wake flow field are held constant. The experimental measurements involve both conventional LDV and hot wire flow field surveys of mean and turbulent quantities including the turbulent kinetic energy budget. In addition, similarity analysis and numerical simulation have also been conducted for this wake study. A focus of the research has been to isolate the effects of both pressure gradient and initial wake asymmetry on the wake development. Experimental results reveal that the pressure gradient has a tremendous influence on the wake development, despite the relatively modest pressure gradients imposed. For a given pressure gradient, the development of an initially asymmetric wake is different from the initially symmetric wake. An explicit similarity solution for the shape parameters of the symmetric wake is obtained and agrees with the experimental results. The turbulent kinetic energy budget measurements of the symmetric wake demonstrate that except for the convection term, the imposed pressure gradient does not change the fundamental flow physics of turbulent kinetic energy transport. Based on the turbulent kinetic energy budget measurements, an approach to correct the bias error associated with the notoriously difficult dissipation estimate is proposed and validated through the comparison of the experimental estimate with a direct numerical simulation result.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

217 x 145 mm. (8 5/8 x 5 5/8"). xliv, 432, 531 pp. PLEASING MARBLED CALF, GILT, BY RIVIERE & SON (stamp-signed on verso of front free endpaper), covers with star-and-lozenge roll border, raised bands, spine compartments with capital "A" at center, curling vines at corners, one red and one green morocco label, densely gilt turn-ins, marbled endpapers, all edges gilt. WITH 24 FULL-PAGE COLOR PLATES AFTER WATERCOLOR DRAWINGS BY W. RUSSELL FLINT. Green label a little faded, joints with just a hint of wear, occasional minor foxing, otherwise fine--clean and fresh internally, the bright plates with rich colors, and the attractive binding showing few signs of use. Originally produced by the Riccardi Press for the Medici Society in 1920 as a two-volume set, this is an attractive variant printed on thin paper that makes possible an edition to be issued in onein this case, handsomely boundvolume. Written in the 15th century by Thomas Malory (ca. 1405-71), the sweeping "Mort d'Arthur," an English version (despite the title) of earlier chivalric tales in French, includes the youth of Arthur, the romance of Guinevere and Launcelot, the quest for the Grail, and the tragedy of Tristram and Iseult. PMM says that the text, the most famous version of all the Arthurian legends, is nothing less than "the matter of England." And Malory's "style, the humor, the magnificence, that magic that takes away the breath, combine [here] in a masterpiece of legendary narrative." Sir William Russell Flint (1880-1969), who produced pictures in a variety of media, is best known to book collectors as the illustrator of a number of literary classics for the Medici Society, printed by the Riccardi Press. The illustrations here are reminiscent of Pre-Raphaelite paintings, a style ideally suited to tales of knights in shining armor and damsels in distress. Riviere is one of the foremost names in English binding, partly because the firm did consistently fine work and partly because it was so long in business. Robert Riviere began as a bookseller and binder in Bath in 1829, then set up shop as a binder in London in 1840; in 1881, he took his grandson Percival Calkin into partnership, at which time the firm became known as Riviere & Son, and the bindery continued to do business until 1937, when it was acquired by the Bayntun bindery of Bath. Bayntun-Riviere is still operated by the Bayntun family.…
