Elementary vortices those tubular swirling vortical structures
with concentrated vorticity commonly observed in various kinds of
turbulent flows play key roles in turbulence dynamics (e.g.
enhancement of mixing, diffusion and resistance) and characterize
turbulence statistics (e.g. intermittency). Because of their
dynamical importance, manipulation of elementary vortices is
expected to be effective and useful in turbulence control as well
as in construction of turbulence modeling. The most advanced
research works on elementary vortices and related problems were
presented and discussed at the IUTAM Symposium in Kyoto, Japan,
26-28 October 2004. This book contains 40 contributions presented
there, the subjects of which cover vortex dynamics, coherent
structures, chaotic advection and mixing, statistical properties of
turbulence, rotating and stratified turbulence, instability and
transition, dynamics of thin vortices, finite-time singularity, and
superfluid turbulence. The book should be useful for readers of
graduate and advanced levels in the field of fluid turbulence.
