First concise textbook on Large-Eddy Simulation, a very important method in scientific computing and engineering From the foreword to the third edition written by Charles Meneveau: "... this meticulously assembled and significantly enlarged description of the many aspects of LES will be a most welcome addition to the bookshelves of scientists and engineers in fluid mechanics, LES practitioners, and students of turbulence in general."

DANS CE TRAVAIL, NOUS EXPLORONS DEUX DOMAINES: LA CONCEPTION DE NOUVELLES METHODES DE SIMULATION D'ECOULEMENTS DE FLUIDES VISQUEUX INCOMPRESSIBLES ET L'ETUDE DE LA METHODE DE SIMULATION DES GRANDES ECHELLES (L.E.S.) POUR UN ECOULEMENT COMPRESSIBLE EN ETAT DE TURBULENCE HOMOGENE ISOTROPE. POUR NOTRE ETUDE DE LA L.E.S., NOUS FILTRONS LE CHAMP TOTAL DES EQUATIONS DE NAVIER-STOKES 3D ET MODELISONS L'ACTION DE LA COMPOSANTE RESIDUELLE SUR LA COMPOSANTE RESOLUE DE PLUSIEURS FACONS. DE PLUS, A PARTIR DU CONCEPT DE L'EQUATION MODIFIEE, UNE ETUDE THEORIQUE SUR NOTRE SCHEMA NUMERIQUE NOUS PERMET D'ECLAIRER L'INFLUENCE CERTAINE DE LA DISCRETISATION SUR LES MODELES DE FERMETURE. DANS UN CONTEXTE DE DEVELOPPEMENT DES METHODES DE GALERKIN NON LINEAIRE, LES INCONNUES INCREMENTALES (I.U.) ONT ETE INTRODUITES AFIN DE HIERARCHISER LES INCONNUES EN DIFFERENCES FINIES. DANS UN PREMIER TEMPS, NOUS VERIFIONS L'ASPECT DE PRECONDITIONNEUR EFFICACE DES I.U. SUR DIFFERENTS PROBLEMES MODELES ELLIPTIQUES (DIRICHLET 2D ET 3D, NEUMAN 2D). ENSUITE, APRES AVOIR RESOLU THEORIQUEMENT UNE EQUATION NON-LINEAIRE STATIONNAIRE DE TYPE NAVIER-STOKES, NOUS DEVELOPPONS PLUSIEURS METHODES IMPLICITES DE RESOLUTION ET PROUVONS L'EFFICACITE DES I.U. DANS DE NOMBREUX CAS. DANS UN DEUXIEME TEMPS, NOUS RESOLVONS NUMERIQUEMENT LES PROBLEMES DE STOKES ET NAVIER-STOKES INCOMPRESSIBLES 2D PAR UN ALGORITHME COUPLANT UNE PROJECTION ORTHOGONALE ET LA METHODE M.A.C. NOUS VALIDONS NOTRE METHODE POUR LA CAVITE ENTRAINEE POUR UN NOMBRE DE REYNOLDS DE 5000. FINALEMENT, NOUS ABORDONS LE DEVELOPPEMENT D'UNE NOUVELLE METHODE MULTI-NIVEAUX ADAPTATIVE PAR LA CREATION D'UNE NOUVELLE HIERARCHISATION D'UN MAILLAGE M.A.C., L'INTRODUCTION D'ESTIMATEURS DE DYNAMIQUE GLOBALE DE L'ECOULEMENT. AINSI, NOUS PROPOSONS DE NOUVEAUX SCHEMAS NOUS SEMBLANT ADAPTES A LA DYNAMIQUE DES ECOULEMENTS DE FLUIDES INCOMPRESSIBLES A GRAND NOMBRE DE REYNOLDS

Biomedical imaging is a fascinating research area to applied mathematicians. Challenging imaging problems arise and they often trigger the investigation of fundamental problems in various branches of mathematics. This is the first book to highlight the most recent mathematical developments in emerging biomedical imaging techniques. The main focus is on emerging multi-physics and multi-scales imaging approaches. For such promising techniques, it provides the basic mathematical concepts and tools for image reconstruction. Further improvements in these exciting imaging techniques require continued research in the mathematical sciences, a field that has contributed greatly to biomedical imaging and will continue to do so. The volume is suitable for a graduate-level course in applied mathematics and helps prepare the reader for a deeper understanding of research areas in biomedical imaging.

The practical importance of turbulence led the U.K. Royal Academy of Engineering to launch an Initiative on Turbulence, the most important outcome of which was the definition and agreement of the 1999 Newton Institute Research Programme on Turbulence. The main aim of the- month programme, held at the institute in Cambridge, was to bring together the mathematics and engineering communities involved in the turbulence area to address the many problems and to map out future strategy. As a part of the Research Programme, a Symposium on Direct and Large-Eddy Simulation was jointly organised with ERCOFfAC through their Large-Eddy Simulation Interest Group and took place in May 1999. Two previous ERCOFf AC Workshops had already taken place on these closely related varieties of turbulence simulation, at The University of Surrey in 1994 and at Universite Joseph Fourier, Grenoble in 1996. The Symposium at Cambridge was therefore the third in the ERCOFTAC series, enhanced by the presence of leading figures in the field from Europe and the USA who were resident at INI for that period of the Research Programme. Professors M. Germano, A. Leonard, J. Jimenez, R. Kerr and S. Sarkar gave the invited lectures, text versions of which will be found in this volume. As occurred at the previous two ERCOFT AC workshops, there were almost one hundred participants mostly from Europe but including some from Japan and the USA, including on this occasion resident scientists of the INI Research Programme.

On the road toward a history of turbulence, this book focuses on what the actors in this research field have identified as the “turbulence problem”. Turbulent flow rose to prominence as one of the most persistent challenges in science. At different times and in different social and disciplinary settings, the nature of this problem has changed in response to changing research agendas. This book does not seek to provide a comprehensive account, but instead an exemplary exposition on the environments in which problems become the subjects of research agendas, with particular emphasis on the first half of the 20th century.
