Synopsis

This book provides a comprehensive account of the state-of-the-art in predicting turbulent and transitional flows by some of the world's leaders in these fields. It can serve as a graduate-level textbook and, equally, as a reference book for research workers in industry or academia. It is structured in three parts: Physical and Numerical Techniques; Flow Types and Processes; and Future Directions. As the only broad account of the subject, it will prove indispensable for all working in Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), whether academics interested in turbulent flows, industrial researchers in CFD interested in understanding the models embedded in their software (or seeking more powerful models) or graduate students needing an introduction to this vital area.

About this title

Book Description:

Turbulence modelling is a critically important area in any industry dealing with fluid flow and retains a huge interest for applied mathematicians. This collection of lecture courses presented at a Newton Institute instructional conference on the title topic by leading researchers, has been edited or rewritten to provide a coherent account suitable for self-study. A vast wealth of material is covered and the book will be greatly appreciated by graduate students, researchers and professionals who need to know about current ideas in turbulence modelling.

Review:

"This book is remarkably well written; its key quality is to give a broad, up-to-date, overview, widely encompassing turbulence modelling. The authors managed to make the twenty-six chapters as self-contained as possible, entities are gemerally nicely presented, in both their manner of explanation and the language itself." Pure Applications of Geophysics

"The review papers are of very high quality, the editors have done an excellent job of integrating them, and this book is a "must" for the library of any turbulence research group...this book will undoubtedbly be the standard reference for research workers..." AIAA Journal
