More About This Textbook

Overview

Now in its fully updated fourth edition, this leading text in its field is an exhaustive monograph on turbulence in fluids in its theoretical and applied aspects. The authors examine a number of advanced developments using mathematical spectral methods, direct-numerical simulations, and large-eddy simulations. The book remains a hugely important contribution to the literature on a topic of great importance for engineering and environmental applications, and presents a very detailed presentation of the field.

Editorial Reviews

Booknews
Synthesizing two graduate courses, one on turbulence itself and the other on geophysical fluid dynamics, attempts to reconcile the statistical perspective of turbulence with the basic concepts of fluid mechanics that determine the evolution of flows arising in various media. First published in 1987, and here revised from the 1990 second edition with an additional 100 pages and a reorganization of chapters to make the information more easily accessible. Includes 22 color plates. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
