Synopsis
Despite its many applications across several disciplines like physics, mathematics, geophysics, and mechanical, chemical, aerospace and civil engineering; transition to turbulence remains a topic in classical physics that has received relatively less rigorous attention in relating theoretical and experimental approaches together. This book discusses the theoretical and computational tools in transition, using receptivity, instability, and bifurcation theories and high accuracy methods.
