This book, first published in 2000, is devoted to developments in symbolic dynamics and comprises eight chapters. The first two are concerned with the study of symbolic sequences of 'low complexity', the following two introduce 'high complexity' systems. Chapter five presents results on asymptotic laws for the random times of occurrence of rare events. Chapter six deals with diophantine problems and combinatorial Ramsey theory. Chapter seven looks at the dynamics of symbolic systems arising from numeration systems, and finally chapter eight gives a complete description of the symbolic dynamics of Lorenz maps.

The ability to actively or passively manipulate a flow field to bring about a desired change is of immense technological importance. The potential benefits of improving flow control systems range from saving billions of dollars in fuel costs for land, air and sea vehicles to achieving more economically competitive and environmentally sound industrial processes involving fluid flows. This book provides a thorough treatment of the basics of flow control and control practices that can be used to produce desired effects. Among topics covered are transition delay, separation prevention, drag reduction, lift augmentation, turbulence suppression, noise abatement, and heat and mass transfer enhancement. The final chapter explores the frontiers of flow control strategies, especially as applied to turbulent flows. Intended for engineering and physics students, researchers and practitioners, Flow Control brings together in a single source a wealth of information on practices and developments in this very active field.

"This book consolidates information in the guided ground transportation area from a wide spectrum of sources. Various aspects of vehicle system classification; analytical techniques and direct numerical integration methods for determining vibration response of linear dynamic systems; wheel-rail contact mechanics; various aspects of rail vehicle dynamics; lading dynamics; air-cushion vehicle system performance; resistance, stability, and control; and magnetically levitated vehicles, which depend on the action of magnetic forces for levitation, propulsion and guidance are presented in this book." "Each chapter consists of a concise but thorough fundamental statement of the theory; principles and methods; followed by a select number of illustrative worked examples. A number of unsolved problems for students to practice, amplify and extend the theory are also included. References at the end of each chapter will help further study and research."--Jacket.
