Download or read book Computational Methods and Experimental Measurements XVI written by G. M. Carlomagno and published by WIT Press. This book was released on 2013-07-02 with total page 497 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
