Written by an internationally well-known
scientist, this monograph is the first comprehensive
presentation of the actuator disk
theory-
The actuator disk, defined as an artificial
device producing sudden discontinuities in f l ow
properties, is being used in numerous engineering
applications to describe flow through
turbine and compressor blade rows, through
gauzes or screens, and through flame fronts,
and this book describes the application of the
theory to many of these engineering problems.
It will enable engineers to use the actuator disk
as an analytical tool in thermofluid dynamics
for research analysis of particular problems,
and design of turbo-machines, diffusers, nozzles,
ducts, and combustion chambers.
This monograph is addressed to researchers
and engineers in aerothermo-energy systems in
industrial companies, research laboratories, and
to graduate students in engineering fluid
mechanics.
