In recent years, turbulence has become a very lively area of scientific research and application, attracting many newcomers who need a basic introduction to the subject. Turbulent Flows ably meets this need, developing both physical insight and the mathematical framework needed to express the theory. The authors present basic theory and illustrate it with examples of simple turbulent flows and classical models of jets, wakes, and boundary layers. A deeper understanding of turbulence dynamics is provided by their treatment of spectral analysis and its applications.
This book offers a novel but unified treatment of an established
subject. Rather than describe the standard topics in fluid
mechanics in traditional form, the book presents each topic as part
of a wider class of problems so that a unity of concepts is
emphasized over a unity of material. The authors have aimed for
simplicity in presentation, stressing physical understanding over
mathematical development. Specialized subjects such as chaotic
advection, chaos and the onset of turbulence - problems that are
being tackled in research and industry now - are given particular
attention. This text is intended for students of fluid mechanics,
primarily at the graduate level, but will also be of interest and
value to workers in the field of fluid mechanics.
