This Special Issue contains substantially extended and revised versions of 13 papers
selected from a total of 155 contributions that had been accepted for presentation
at the Symposium “Engineering Turbulence Modelling and Measurements-8
(ETMM-8)”, held in Marseille in June 2010 under the auspices of ERCOFTAC. The
ETMM series of events was established to give greater prominence and sharper focus
to research on application-oriented aspects of turbulence and its computational and
experimental characterisation, thus helping to bridge the gap between fundamental
approaches to turbulence and the exploitation of models, codes and knowledge in an
industrial setting. In this respect, ETMM is thematically closely consonant with the
aims and ethos of FTaC.
Within the broad spectrum of topics featuring at ETMM meetings, the majority
of papers deal with computational and experimental approaches to complex aero-
and hydro-dynamic flows, heat transfer, multi-phase and reacting flows, flow control,
flows in power generation and environmental fluid mechanics. The present Special
Issue aspires to reflect this mix and to provide an archival record of some of the best
papers presented at ETMM-8. To this end, selected papers were subjected to the
same rigorous review process as that followed in respect of any other contribution
to FTaC, each manuscript being reviewed by three leading experts, with some
manuscripts undergoing three revisions before being accepted.

Of the 13 papers included in this Special Issue, one documents a LES study of
the aerodynamics of a complex jet discharged from a serrated nozzle; three papers
examine various aspects of transition and turbulence in turbomachine-related flows,
two applying LES and one experimental techniques; two papers report studies
on different aspect of heat transfer with LES or a statistical model; one paper
investigates the effectiveness of drag-reducing polymers in ducts; four papers focus
on combustors or a flame, examining with LES aerodynamic issues, scalar transport,
heat transfer and reaction, one paper also reporting new experimental data for
validation; one paper applies LES to a reacting flow in a diesel engine; and the final
paper provides a review of research on atmospheric turbulence in the context of wind
energy.
The Editors hope that the readers of this Special Issue will judge it to be a valuable
contribution to the literature, and to give credit to efforts by the scientific community
to engage in turbulence modelling, simulation and measurements of immediate
relevance to the industrial arena.
