This book covers a wide range of edited papers in the areas of fluid mechanics presented at the Seventh International Conference on Advances in Fluid Mechanics held at The New Forest, UK in May 2008. This international conference originated due to the successful book series “Advances in Fluid Mechanics”. The conference emphasizes the advancement of knowledge in fluid mechanics problems with new applications. The basic mathematical formulations and their solutions by analytical and numerical methods are discussed together with the experimental work.

This papers in this book are presented under the following topics: Convection, Heat and Mass Transfer; Experimental versus Simulation Methods; Computational Methods in Fluid Mechanics; Multiphase Flows; Boundary Layer Flows; Hydraulics and Hydrodynamics; Wave Studies; Industrial Applications; Biofluids; Turbulence Flow; Environmental Fluid Mechanics; and Fluid Structure Interactions
