Table of Contents

An introduction to chemical reactions developing in a turbulent medium; the mixing-sensitive product distribution of chemical reactions; laser-induced fluorescence tomography of inert and reactive free jets; wavelet analysis of mixing patterns in a turbulent jet; some applications of the measurement of concentration in liquids by laser-induced fluorescence; determination of the velocity-concentration correlation in liquids by laser-induced fluorescence; stability of an erodible bed of lead granules at low wall shear stress; drag reduction by polymers and surfactants.

Editorial Reviews

Sixteen contributions study the flow and mixing of inert and reactive liquids in various environments and on different scales, and present modern methods of experimental techniques, theoretical analysis, and numerical modeling. Topics discussed include using laser-introduced fluorescence tomography in combination with a 3D template matching method, crystal growth in reactive turbulent flows in chemical production plants, crystallization of supercooled water and the formation of frazil ice in rivers, flows in porous media, drag reduction by polymers and surfactant additives, particle orientation in turbulent flows from small-angle neutron scattering results, and complex phenomena in eroding beds.
