The present volume on fluid mechanics encompasses theoretical and analytical investigations as well as some experimental results of studies into Groebli's solution of the three-vortex problem, contour dynamics methods, atmospheric turbulence, and dynamo theory. Specific issues addressed include the modeling if two-phase slug flow, measuring the flow properties of yield-stress fluids, parabolized/reduced Navier-Stokes computational techniques, topological methods in hydrodynamics, and vortex rings. Also addressed are wavelet transforms and their application to turbulence, numerical models of mantle convection, hydrodynamic phenomena in suspensions of swimming microorganisms, helicity in laminar and turbulent flow, and finite element methods for Navier-Stokes equations.
