E-raamat: Computational Methods and Experimental Measurements XVI

The conference is designed to allow the international technical and scientific community to discuss the interaction between experimental measurements and computational methods, emphasizing their reciprocal and advantageous integration. Most of the presentations are among the 38 papers published in the proceedings. They cover computational and experimental methods, fluid flow, heat transfer, aquatic systems, materials characterizations, mechanical characterization, measurements and simulations for engineering application, structural and stress analysis, and computer methods.

This book contains the results of the sixteenth in a biennial series of meetings organised by the Wessex Institute of Technology to facilitate that communication between scientists who perform experiments, researchers who develop computer codes, and those who carry out measurements on prototypes. The conference was first held in 1984. While computer models are now more reliable and better able to represent more realistic problems, experimental measurements need to be conditioned to the requirements of the computational models. Progress of engineering sciences depends on the orderly and progressive concurrent development of all three fields.The papers contained in the book cover such topics as: Computational and experimental methods; Computer interaction and control of experiments; Fluid flow; Structural and stress analysis; Computer methods; Materials characterization; Heat transfer and thermal processes; Data acquisition and signal processing; Advances in measurements and data acquisition; Multiscale modelling; Industrial applications.
