This short but complicated book is very demanding of any reader.
The scope and style employed preserve the nature of its subject:
the turbulence phe nomena in gas and liquid flows which are
believed to occur at sufficiently high Reynolds numbers. Since at
first glance the field of interest is chaotic, time-dependent and
three-dimensional, spread over a wide range of scales, sta tistical
treatment is convenient rather than a description of fine details
which are not of importance in the first place. When coupled to the
basic conserva tion laws of fluid flow, such treatment, however,
leads to an unclosed system of equations: a consequence termed, in
the scientific community, the closure problem. This is the central
and still unresolved issue of turbulence which emphasizes its chief
peculiarity: our inability to do reliable predictions even on the
global flow behavior. The book attempts to cope with this difficult
task by introducing promising mathematical tools which permit an
insight into the basic mechanisms involved. The prime objective is
to shed enough light, but not necessarily the entire truth, on the
turbulence closure problem. For many applications it is sufficient
to know the direction in which to go and what to do in order to
arrive at a fast and practical solution at minimum cost. The book
is not written for easy and attractive reading."
