XXII Fluid Mechanics Conference (KKMP2016)

Abstract

This Journal of Physics: Conference Series contains papers that have been presented at XXII Fluid Mechanics Conference (XXII FMC) held in Słok near Bełchatów in Poland during llth-14th September of 2016. The Conference is organized by Wrocław University of Science and Technology, Polish Academy of Sciences - Committee of Mechanics and Foun-dation for Development of Wroclaw University of Science and Technology.Let us recall some historical facts: Fluid Mechanics Conferences have been taking place every two years since 1974, which makes a total of forty-two years. The goal of this conference is to provide a forum for exposure and exchange of ideas, methods and results in fluid mechanics.We have already met in Bełchatów 10 years ago (XVII KKMP). It was a successful meeting. Since then the National Conference on Fluid Mechanics has changed title and has started to be named Fluid Mechanics Conference in the hopes that it will attract more participants from other countries. English became the Conference's first language and we started to invite world leading scientists - working in the field of fluid mechanics. At the 2006 conference we hosted for the first time prof. Keith Moffatt from the Cambridge University. In this year prof. Moffatt once again promised us to arrive to Bełchatów. The whole fluid mechanics community celebrates 92 anniversary of his birthday. So let us also wish happy anniversary to prof. Moffatt.In the mean time we had to pay last respects to our collages. Prof. Prosnak who is regarded as a founder of the Notational Conference on Fluid Mechanics and is well known through his books. Prof. Puzyrewski who was present at all conferences so far. He was providing via his discussions a special value to these conferences, and our colleague prof. Konrad Bajer who was intended to be the organizer and host of the present conference. Short memories to them will be given during the opening ceremony.Conference topics include, but are not limited to aerodynamics, atmospheric science, bio-fluids, combustion and reacting flows, computational fluid dynamics, experimental fluid mechanics, flow machinery, general fluid dynamics, hydromechanics, heat and fluid flow, measurement techniques, micro- and nano-flow, multi-phase flow, non-Newtonian fluids, rotating and stratified flows and turbulence.Within the general subjects of this conference, the Professor Janusz W. Eisner's Competition for the best fluid mechanics paper presented during the Conference is organized. Authors holding a M.Sc. or a Ph.D. degree and who are not older than 35 may enter the Competition. Authors with a Ph.D. degree must present individual papers; authors with a M.Sc. degree may present papers with their supervisors as coauthors, including original results of experimental, numerical or analytic research.Six state-of-the-art keynote papers will be delivered by world leading experts. All contributed papers were peer reviewed. Recommendations were received from the Scientific Committee of the Conference; reviewers were from all Polish scientific-academic centres that are involved in fluid mechanics. Accordingly, of the 67 eligible extended abstracts submitted, after a review process by the Scientific Committee, all papers were selected for presentation at XXII Fluid Mechanics Conference.We hope that this publication will be used not only as a guide through the conference's programme but also help in the future to access people and topics in fluid mechanics research.
