Heat and mass transfer and hydrodynamics in swirling flows

This paper gives a brief review of studies by Russian and foreign scientists in the field of heat and mass transfer in swirling flows; the vortex effect; swirling and vortex flows in the elements of gas turbine, aerospace, and power engineering; combustion with a swirling flow; and modern methods for the numerical and experimental study of swirling flows, surface vortex generators, heat transfer, and hydrodynamics on macro-, micro-, and nanoscales. The results of these studies were discussed during the seventh conference Heat and Mass Transfer and Hydrodynamics in Swirling Flows.
