Studying Turbulence Using Numerical Simulation Databases - IX: Proceedings of the 2002 Summer Program

The ninth Summer Program of the Center for Turbulence Research was held during the period July 29th - August 23rd, 2002. The increase in number of participants, noted in the Preface to the Proceedings of the 2000 Program, continues: this year there were 50 participants from ten countries, and 30 hosts from Stanford and NASA-Ames. This Proceedings volume contains 32 papers that span a wide range of topics and an enormous range of physical scales. The papers have been divided into seven groups: Acoustics, RANS modeling, Combustion, Large-eddy simulation (LES), LES Numerics, Stratified Flows, and Fundamentals, In several cases, a paper could have fitted in more than one group so the classification is somewhat arbitrary.
