Abstract

Euromech 60 is the third in a series of European Mechanics Colloquia dealing primarily with three-dimensional turbulent boundary layers. The Colloquium was held in Trondheim at the Technical University (NTH) from 14–16 April 1975 with forty-two participants from ten different countries, and was organized by L. N. Persen and T. K. Fanneløp. A total of 23 papers were presented, dealing with both experiments on and predictions of turbulent boundary-layer flows and related topics. Those concerned with the development of prediction methods were challenged by a set of boundary-layer flow problems defined well in advance in order to be calculated prior to the Colloquium. The results show close agreement for some calculated variables and surprisingly large discrepancies in others. A brief account of this exercise is included and it will also be the subject of a special report.
