Description for The Statistical Dynamics Of Turbulence
Hardback. The crux of turbulence theory is the well-known closure problem. This monograph introduces mathematical tools to shed light on this problem. It features the turbulence dissipation process, the mechanism that controls growth of the energy and its transfer from large towards small-scale motions, demonstrating the two-point correlation technique. Num Pages: 149 pages, 67 black & white illustrations, biography. BIC Classification: PHDF. Category: (G) General (US: Trade); (P) Professional & Vocational; (U) Tertiary Education (US: College). Dimension: 234 x 156 x 9. Weight in Grams: 397.
This short but complicated book is very demanding of any reader. The scope and style employed preserve the nature of its subject: the turbulence phe nomena in gas and liquid flows which are believed to occur at sufficiently high Reynolds numbers. Since at first glance the field of interest is chaotic, time-dependent and three-dimensional, spread over a wide range of scales, sta tistical treatment is convenient rather than a description of fine details which are not of importance in the first place. When coupled to the basic conserva tion laws of fluid flow, such treatment, however, leads to an unclosed ... Read more

Reviews for The Statistical Dynamics Of Turbulence
From the reviews: "This small book from the Springer Complexity series lives up to the series subtitle and surpasses its name. … It is dense with concepts, references, and equations. The book will be a valuable resource for those who choose to make a research career in turbulence … ." (Richard H. Lyon, International Journal ... Read more
