New Results in Numerical and Experimental Fluid Mechanics VII : Contributions to the 16th STAB/DGLR Symposium Aachen, Germany 2008 PDF

th This volume contains the papers presented at the 16 DGLR/STAB-Symposium held at the Eurogress Aachen and organized by RWTH Aachen University, Germany, November, 3 - 4, 2008.

STAB is the German Aerospace Aerodynamics Association, founded towards the end of the 1970's, whereas DGLR is the German Society for Aeronautics and Astronautics (Deutsche Gesellschaft fur Luft- und Raumfahrt - Lilienthal Oberth e.V.).

The mission of STAB is to foster development and acceptance of the discipline "Aerodynamics" in Germany.

One of its general guidelines is to concentrate resources and know-how in the involved institutions and to avoid duplication in research work as much as possible.

Nowadays, this is more necessary than ever. The experience made in the past makes it easier now, to obtain new knowledge for solving today's and tomorrow's problems.

STAB unites German scientists and engineers from universities, research-establishments and industry doing research and project work in numerical and experimental fluid mechanics and aerodynamics for aerospace and other applications.

This has always been the basis of numerous common research activities sponsored by different funding agencies.

Since 1986 the symposium has taken place at different locations in Germany every two years.

In between STAB workshops regularly take place at the DLR in Gottingen.
