Computational Methods in Applied Sciences: Invited Lectures and Special Technological Sessions of the 1st European Computational Fluid Dynamics Conference and of the First European Conference

The European Computational Fluid Dynamics Conference and the European Conference on Numerical Methods in Engineering are the initiative of national Scientific Societies of many countries in Europe engaged in these fields. The 28 papers in this volume give an extensive review on selected topics pertaining to basic methodologies, scientific developments and industrial applications, in fluid dynamics, in structural mechanics and other engineering applications. This multidisciplinary volume brings together specialists in a wide range of engineering activities who employ common analytical and experimental methods in their research. The contents are of world-wide interest and will help to stimulate future research and analysis in this broad field.
