Flow Past Highly Compliant Boundaries and in Collapsible Tubes : Proceedings of the IUTAM Symposium Held at the University of Warwick, United Kingdom, 26–30 March 2001

The IUTAM Symposium on Flow in Collapsible Tubes and Past Other Highly Compliant Boundaries was held on 26-30 March, 2001, at the University of Warwick. As this was the first scientific meeting of its kind we considered it important to mark the occasion by producing a book. Accordingly, at the end of the Symposium the Scientific Committee met to discuss the most appropriate format for the book. We wished to avoid the format of the conventional conference book consisting of a large number of short articles of varying quality. It was agreed that instead we should produce a limited number of rigorously refereed and edited articles by selected participants who would aim to sum up the state of the art in their particular research area. The outcome is the present book. Peter W. Ca rpenter, Warwick Timothy J. Pedley, Cambridge May, 2002. VB SCIENTIFIC COMMITTEE Co-Chair: P.W. Carpenter, Engineering, Warwiek, UK Co-Chair: TJ.

The motivation for this book was provided by The IUTAM Symposium on Flow in Collapsible Tubes and Past Other Highly Compliant Boundaries held on 26-30 March, 2001 at the University of Warwick. As this was the first scientific meeting on this research topic, the Scientific Committee considered it important to mark the occasion by producing a book. They did not wish to produce a conventional proceedings comprising a large number of brief articles of varying quality. Instead the present volume consists of twelve rigorously refereed and edited articles by invited authors who aim to sum up the state of the art in their particular research area. There are articles on flow in collapsible tubes, that include descriptions and discussion of biomedical applications; on instability of external, internal and rotating flows pas compliant walls; on the use of wall compliance for drag reduction and turbulence modification; and on dolphin hydrodynamics.
