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.
