Recent Developments in Turbulence Management

Recent Developments in Turbulence Management edited by K.-S. Choi.

The European Drag Reduction Meeting has been held on 15th and 16th November 1990 in London. This was the fifth of the annual European meetings on drag reduction in engineering flows. The main objective of this meeting was to discuss up-to-date results of drag reduction research carried out in Europe...
