Abstract
Homeland security involves many applications of fluid mechanics and offers many opportunities for research and development.This review explores a wide selection of fluids topics in counterterrorism and suggests future directions.Broad topics range from preparedness and deterrence of impending terrorist attacks to detection,response,and recovery.Specific topics include aircraft hardening,blast mitigation,sensors and sampling,explosive detection,microfluidics and labs-on-a-chip,chemical plume dispersal in urban settings, and building ventilation.Also discussed are vapor plumes and standoff detection,nonlethal weapons,airborne disease spread,personal protective equipment,and decontamination.Involvement in these applications requires fluid dynamicists to think across the traditional boundaries of the field and to work with related disciplines, especially chemistry,biology,aerosol science,and atmospheric science.
期刊介绍：
"Advances in Mechanics" is a comprehensive academic journal supervised by the Chinese Academy of Sciences and jointly sponsored by the Institute of Mechanics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Society of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics, focusing on publishing high-level review articles in the field of mechanics, with special attention to the bidirection drive of mechanics and applications.
Welcome articles facing the major national needs, from the perspective of engineering systems, summarize and analyze the research history and current situation of common or bottleneck mechanics issues, and have a foreseeable article about the future
Welcome the forefront of mechanics, exploring new directions, new fields, and enlightening articles;
Welcome in-depth summary of the mechanics results or lessons with important reference and reference value, so that the latecomers can better create and invented articles on the basis of the predecessors;
Encourage creative ideas and suggestions for current important academic issues related to the development of mechanics.
