Inhaltsangabe

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.
