The field of fluid mechanics is vast and has numerous and diverse applications. As such, it covers a wide range of topics including basic formulations and their computer modelling as well as the relationship between experimental and analytical results. 

The 13th International Conference on Advances in Fluid Mechanics, from which this volume originates, had an emphasis on new applications and research currently in progress. The papers included cover such topics as: Boundary elements and other mesh reduction methods; Fluid structure interaction; Multiphase heat transfer; Environmental fluid dynamics; Energy harvesting; Nano and micro fluids; Complex flows; Jets; Droplet and spray dynamics; Bubble dynamics; Multiphase fluid flow; Pumping and fluid transportation; Complex and non-Newtonian fluids; Chemical reaction flow; Hydroelectromagnetic flow; hypersonic flows; Wave theory; Acoustics of noise propagation; Nanotechnology applications in fluids and heat transfer; Bluff body aerodynamics; Aerodynamic shape optimization.
