Since 1960 the study of turbulence has been enhanced by
developments in areas such as laser anemometry, powerful computers,
digital data processing and theoretical methods from quantum
physics. Turbulence is the archetypal non-linear, non-equilibrium
problem of statistical physics: the fundamental problems of
turbulence are still unsolved, but there is growing interest in
their solution. Looking at fluid turbulence from the point of view
of engineering science, this book aims to present an integrated
treatise on the nature of the physics of fluid turbulence as a
universal phenomena with a universal behaviour. It is designed for
those who are new to the subject and also for those familiar with
the more traditional branches of the study of turbulence but not
with the usage of quantum physics. For the first group of readers,
a concise summary of the theory and practice of turbulence up to
about 1960 is given as an introduction. This is followed by an
analysis of modern (post 1960) turbulence theory, including a
formulation of the turbulence problem as an example of a
non-equilibrium statistical system with strong coupling and the
application of renormalized perturbation theory to turb
