This book aims to bridge the gap between practicing mathematicians and the practitioners of turbulence theory. It presents the mathematical theory of turbulence to engineers and physicists, and the physical theory of turbulence to mathematicians. The book is the result of many years of research by the authors to analyze turbulence using Sobolev spaces and functional analysis.The mathematical technicalities are kept to a minimum within the book, enabling the language to be at a level understood by a borad audience. Each chapter is the accompanied by appendices giving full details of the mathematical proofs and subtleties. This unique presentation should ensure a volume of interest to mathematicians, engineers, and physicists.
