Items related to Turbulence and Random Processes in Fluid Mechanics
The main aim of this book is to give its readers a background in fluid flow turbulence and related areas that will enable them to follow the literature of the subject and understand current research results. The authors stress fundamental concepts and basic methods and approaches, while attempting to introduce some recent ideas they believe will prove important to future work in turbulence. This book departs from conventional treatments of the subject as it stresses the dynamics of processes that participate in creating and maintaining turbulent flows, including stability, wave motion, and coherent structures. Although not covered in detail, the standard equilibrium turbulent flows, such as channel flow, boundary layers, and convection between two parallel plates are also described.

Book Description:
Recent developments in the field of chaos and its applications to turbulent flow are included in the second edition of a text that continues to present the fundamental concepts and basic methods of fluid flow turbulence.
Review:
"This small book is a gem that should be widely appreciated...It is clean, useful, and almost elegant in its confident approach to the subject." Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society
"...an easy to read introduction to turbulence, instabilities and transitions....successfully reviews a large class of nonlinear phenomena in fluids (solitons, deterministic chaos, transitions, fully developed turbulence) without many technical details....provides a good bibliography....very valuable in that it rapidly provides a good fundamental background to engineers who have to cope with realistic problems in fluids." P. L. Sulem, Mathematical Reviews
