Aero/Hydrodynamics and Symmetry

This book presents collective works published in the recent Special Issue (SI) entitled Aero/Hydrodynamics and Symmetry. These works address the existence of symmetry and its breakdown in aero-/hydro-dynamics and their related applications. The presented problems are complex nonlinear non-Newtonian fluid flow problems that are (in some cases) coupled with heat transfer phase change nanofluidic and magnetohydrodynamics phenomena. The applications vary and range from polymer chain transfer in micro-channel to the evaluation of vertical axis wind turbines as well as autonomous underwater hovering vehicles. Recent advances in numerical theoretical and experimental methodologies as well as finding new physics new methodological developments and their limitations are presented within the scope of the current book. Among others in the presented works special attention is paid to validation and improving the accuracy of the presented methodologies. This book brings together a collection of inter-/multi-disciplinary works applied to many engineering applications in a coherent manner.
