This book contains the papers presented at the Third International Conference on Advances in Fluid Mechanics, held in Montreal, Canada, May 24-26, 2000. The papers cover developments in fluid research from basic mathematical formulations of fluid mechanics to computer modeling of fluid dynamic applications. Topics covered include: Experimental versus Computational Methods; Numerical Methods in Fluid Mechanics; Boundary Element Methods for Fluids; Inverse Fluid Mechanics Problems; Fluid-Structure Interaction; Heat and Mass Transfer; Bio-Fluid Mechanics; Geophysical Fluid Dynamics; Environmental Fluid Mechanics; Hydrodynamics; Aerodynamics; River, Lake and Estuary Dynamics; Coastal Sea Modelling; Nonlinear Ocean Waves; Air-Sea Coupling Dynamics; Wave Propagation and Scattering; Non-Newtonian Fluids; and Constitutive Relationships.
