This book is intended for self-study or as a companion of lectures
delivered to post-graduate students on the subject of the
computational prediction of complex turbulent flows. There are
several books in the extensive literature on turbulence that deal,
in statistical terms, with the phenomenon itself, as well its many
manifestations in the context of fluid dynamics. Statistical
Turbulence Modelling for Fluid Dynamics - Demystified differs from
these and focuses on the physical interpretation of a broad range
of mathematical models used to represent the time-averaged effects
of turbulence in computational prediction schemes for fluid flow
and related transport processes in engineering and the natural
environment. It dispenses with complex mathematical manipulations
and instead gives physical and phenomenological explanations. This
approach allows students to gain a 'feel' for the physical fabric
represented by the mathematical structure that describes the
effects of turbulence and the models embedded in most of the
software currently used in practical fluid-flow predictions, thus
counteracting the ill-informed black-box approach to turbulence
modelling. This is done by taking readers through the physical
arguments underpinning exact concepts, the rationale of
approximations of processes that cannot be retained in their exact
form, and essential calibration steps to which the resulting models
are subjected by reference to theoretically established behaviour
of, and experimental data for, key canonical flows.
