Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Most natural and industrial flows are turbulent. The atmosphere and oceans, automobile and aircraft engines, all provide examples of this ubiquitous phenomenon. In recent years, turbulence has become a very lively area of scientific research and application, and this work offers a grounding in the subject of turbulence, developing both the physical insight and the mathematical framework needed to express the theory. Providing a solid foundation in the key topics in turbulence, this valuable reference resource enables the reader to become a knowledgeable developer of predictive tools. This central and broad ranging topic would be of interest to graduate students in a broad range of subjects, including aeronautical and mechanical engineering, applied mathematics and the physical sciences. The accompanying solutions manual to the text also makes this a valuable teaching tool for lecturers and for practising engineers and scientists in computational and experimental and experimental fluid dynamics. Book News Annotation:Durbin (Stanford U.) and Reif (Norwegian Defence Research
Establishment) have compiled lecture notes from a graduate course in
mechanical engineering at Stanford introducing turbulence and
turbulence modeling. To the original topics of single point
statistical theory, phenomenology, and Reynolds averaged closure
covered in their course, they have added discussions of two-point,
homogeneous turbulence theory to provide sufficient breadth for a
complete introductory course on turbulence, as well as more practical
aspects and more advanced mathematical analysis of models. Rather
than survey turbulence closure models, they consider the ones that
seem to have proved effective in computational fluid dynamics
applications. The CiP deletes Statistical from the title.
