This book covers the diverse and cutting-edge research presented at the 13th ERCOFTAC Workshop on Direct and Large Eddy Simulation. The first section of the book focuses on Aerodynamics/Aeroacoustics, comprising eight papers that delve into the intricate relationship between fluid flow and aerodynamic performance. The second section explores the dynamics of Bluff/Moving Bodies through four insightful papers. Bubbly Flows, the subject of the third section, is examined through four papers. Moving on, the fourth section is dedicated to Combustion and Reactive Flows, presenting two papers that focus on the complex dynamics of combustion processes and the interactions between fluids and reactive species. Convection and Heat/Mass Transfer are the central themes of the fifth section, which includes three papers. These contributions explore the fundamental aspects of heat and mass transfer in fluid flows, addressing topics such as convective heat transfer, natural convection, and mass transport phenomena. The sixth section covers Data Assimilation and Uncertainty Quantification, featuring two papers that highlight the importance of incorporating data into fluid dynamic models and quantifying uncertainties associated with these models. The subsequent sections encompass a wide range of topics, including Environmental and Industrial Applications, Flow Separation, LES Fundamentals and Modelling, Multiphase Flows, and Numerics and Methodology. These sections collectively present a total of 23 papers that explore different facets of fluid dynamics, contributing to the advancement of the field and its practical applications.

This textbook describes the fundamentals of the phenomena of fluid dynamics in the context of engineering instances. It is designed to replace introductory books and notes on the subject for first-level engineering courses as well as higher-level courses or for professional use. The use of this book requires the basic knowledge of mathematics and physics normally delivered in the early years of undergraduate study. However, the extensive use of examples and solved exercises proposes a parallel intuitive route to understanding the necessary mathematical formalisms. It proves that a new fluid dynamics text should not contain new ideas or formalisms, but should present the material in a modern and intuitive way. The approach chosen is primarily practical, so that that readers can practice by solving the proposed problems and examples in order to be prepared to solve the new problems they will encounter in their academic and professional activities. It serves as a teaching tool for courses in basic fluid dynamics, advanced fluid dynamics, turbulence, and aerodynamics.
