DESCRIPTION:
` welcome this excellent reference book and would highly recommend it to a theoretician, a modeler and an engineer who has to select a turbulence model befitting his task a welcome addition to every scientific library 'European Journal of Mechanics, B/Fluids` a good introduction to turbulence 'Meccanica` highly recommended to all research workers in fluid dynamics 'The Aeronautical Journal
A very good book on Turbulence A Customer I think that this book is quite good. Is the only book where I found a detailed treatment of the EDQNM model and also some less known models as RNG techniques. There are also good discussions on topics like geostrophic turbulence, enstrophy and rotating turbulence, that cannot be found in other "standard" books on general turbulence like the books of Pope or Mathieu or the "old" Hinze. This book is harder to read than the Pope's book or Tennekes&Lumley, which are more introductory. It is an excellent complement for tha. An embarassement from every perspective Lesieur's third edition of Turbulence in Fluids is embarassingly bad. First of all there was strictly no point in publishing a third edition of this book. The author has obviously done no proper scientific research for ten years, so that there are no particularly new results with respect to older editions of the book.In fact the author claims that this book is suitable as a graduate course in advance fluid mechanics and the foreword of the book is suggestive of the author having published a third edition specially to m
It views the problem of turbulence in a very general way: statistical theories, intermittency, transition, coherent structures, singularities, unpredictability or deterministic chaos are only small pieces of the same puzzle, which have to be assembled.. This monograph is a unique tool for graduate students and researchers in mechanical and aerospace engineering, applied mathematics, physics, meteorology, oceanography and astrophysics. The Renormalization-Group techniques are assessed. Transition to turbulence in wall or free-shear flows is considered both on the basis of linear-instability theory and of experiments or numerical simulations. The latter is also studied using geostrophic-turbulence theory. The latter phenomenon is shown to govern inverse cascades of passive scalars and small-scale uncertainty. Numerous experimental, environmental and aerodynamic examples are provided. It empha
