Physical Processes and Chemical Reactions in Liquid Flows

Presenting research on reactive flows, this work covers theoretical aspects, experimental techniques and the development of models implemented in computational fluid dynamics software.

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.
