New Results in Numerical and Experimental Fluid Mechanics IV

This volume contains the paper presented at the 13th DGLRlST AB- Symposium held at the Technische Universitat Miinchen November 12 to 14 2002. STAB is the German Aerospace Aerodynamics Association founded towards the end of the 70s whereas DGLR is the German Society for Aeronautics and Astronautics (Deutsche Gesellschaft fUr Luft- und Raumfahrt - Lilienthal Oberth e.V.). The mission of STAB is to foster development and acceptance of the dis- cipline \Aerodynamics\ in Germany. One of its general guidelines is to concentrate resources and know-how in the involved institutions and to avoid duplication in research work as much as possible. Nowadays this is more necessary than ever. The experience made in the past makes it easier now to obtain new knowledge for solving todays and tomorrows prob- lems. STAB unites German scientists and engineers from universities research- establishments and industry doing research and project work in numerical and experimental fluid mechanics and aerodynamics for aerospace and other applications. This has always been the basis of numerous common research activities sponsored by different funding agencies.
