The book starts by examining the fundamental physical laws necessary for the optimization of techniques for hydro-aeromechanics, heat engineering, and other disciplines related to flow. The reader is then provided with detailed explanations of novel experimental methods, along with the results of physical research. These results are also necessary for the construction of theoretical models that provide improved descriptions for numerous problems in various scientific fields.
Frequent discussions, examples of practical applications throughout the text, and foundational, theoretical materials help a range of readers engage and apply these methods to problems in fields including drag reduction, noiseless movement, optimal maneuvering, intense heat transfer, control of separated vortices, wind power, economical energy consumption, and more.
- Provides instructions on the set up of innovative experiments for drag reduction that will be of great interest to researchers in aerospace, marine and automotive engineering
- Describes, in detail, a variety of novel experiments to investigate boundary layer flow, together with experimental data that can be used with computational models
- Assists with bio-inspired hydrodynamic design by providing models of a waving fin mover and investigations of analogs of hydrobiont skin covers

Viktor V. Babenko
Prof. Viktor V. Babenko received his MSc in Mechanical Engineering from the Moscow Aviation Institute in 1963 and his PhD in Fluid and Gas Mechanics from the Institute of Hydro-aeromechanics of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine (NASU) in 1970. Between 1963 and 1965, he worked at the Antonov Design Bureau, a Ukrainian aircraft manufacturing company. He has been at the Institute of Hydromechanics since 1965, where he has managed research projects on boundary layers. He has been a professor since 1990, and was the Head of Department until 2000. Throughout his career, he has developed original methodologies for research on boundary layer receptivity to 2D and 3D disturbances, at flows around elastic coatings, near different cavities and ledges, in a vortex chamber, at movement of high-speed surface devices, and others. He has developed control methods for coherent vortical structures arising at various types of flows. From 1989 to 2006, he was a member of the Scientific Council of the Institute of Hydromechanics NASU, and since 2000 he has been a member of the Scientific Councils of the Universities of Civil Aviation and Polytechnic in Kiev.
