The flow set up by rotating a disc at constant angular velocity about its axis, in otherwise still fluid, is a classical problem in fluid mechanics. The resulting three-dimensional boundary layer is a useful model for the flow over swept wings and turbine blades. »»»

In the stability theory of shear layers, the term `local stability' refers to the stability properties of a particular velocity profile at a given position in the flow. When the basic flow develops the streamwise direction, e.g. in a growing boundary layer, the changing local stability properties can be mapped out downstream. If there are regions of local absolute instability then there is the possibility of a `global instability' of the entire flow. When the basic flow varies slowly in the downstream direction the global stability can be determined from the local stability. »»»
Large deformations of a solid are investigated. We use a polar decomposition of gradient matrix F = RW (R is rotation matrix, W is stretch matrix). Large deformations of solids involve local spacial interactions either in an extension or in a rotation. Because local interactions are well described by spacial gradient, matrix W intervene for extensions and matrix gradR intervene for rotations. Thus the free energy depends on W and on gradR. Moreover, free energy takes into account the local impenetrability condition. Reactions to this impenetrability condition are important in constitutive laws. »»»
Turbulence will be introduced as the typical state of real flowing viscous fluids (historical overview). Attributes of turbulence will be presented (diffusivity, deterministic chaos, fractal structure…). A mathematical model will be introduced and its basic properties will be shown including the Kolmogorov theory. Then a few phenomenological aspects will demonstrate the typical features of the phenomenon (stability, complexity…).

Abstract: There is a potential problem that hazardous and flammable materials are accidentally or intentionally released into the atmosphere, either within or close to populated urban areas. For the assessment of human health hazard from toxic substances, the existence of high concentration peaks in a plume should be considered. »»»

The highly accurate simulation of turbulent rotating flows within cavity is of interest for both engineering applications, such as designing rotational machinery, and fundamental research, as one of the simplest cases where the turbulent boundary layers are three-dimensional. Attempting to compute these flows using statistical approaches has had only partial success. »»»
When a disk rotates at constant angular velocity in otherwise still fluid a boundary layer flow is established close to the disk. Obviously the local velocity of the disk increases with radius, but to a first approximation, this radial variation of the basic flow can be neglected to produce a "local" parallel-flow linear stability theory. »»»

Abstract:
Proper Orthogonal Decomposition (POD) is widely used in the field of Reduced Order Modeling (ROM). Based on a large data set of a turbulent flow, a few POD modes are sufficient to characterize the dynamics of the underlying flow. Instability waves that grow in turbulent shear layers are usually represented by two coupled POD modes. »»»
