DESCRIPTION:
It is clear, comprehensive, and balanced" --SIAM Review"Quite accessible, thorough and complete." --Science"An impressive collection of different results both experimental and theoretical, which makes this book a good source for both the beginner and the expert." -- Mathematical Reviews. "This book will become a classic text for turbulence modeling
"this is the one to get" according to A Customer. As a detailed review and pedagogical presentation of the statistical approach to the turbulence problem you will not find a better book. This monograph is comprehensive as well as being accessible. All aspects of the renormalised perturbation DIA theory of Kraichnan are covered in detail as well as the Langrangian history direct interaction, LET, EFP and simulation methods (the CUDIA is omitted). A brief description of renormalised group theories are covered, which given McComb's groups current work in this area, it would have been nice to have more detail. While you will not find d. Modern turbulence models This is a solid text that covers modern turbulence theory. It is clearly written and easy to follow. Highly recommended .. Five Stars Ka Ming Woo excellent book for research. it is precise and concise. i will use it to finish the remaining turlence theory.
It includes a concise summary of the theory and practice of turbulence science up to 1960, followed by a detailed analysis of more recent developments in this area, including a rigorous formulation of the turbulence problem as an example of a non-equilibrium statistical system with strong coupling, along with the application of renormalized perturbation theory. This book provides an in-depth look at fluid turbulence: the archetypal non-linear, non-equilibrium problem of statistical physics which has witnessed significant progress in recent years, facilitated by advances in laser anemometry, computer technology, and theoretical methods from quantum physics. A fully integrated work, The Physics of Fluid Turbulence approaches its subject as a universal phenomenon with a universal behavior. Designed for those new to the subject, the book will also be useful to those who are familiar with the study of turbulence but have not yet approached the subject utilizing the theoretical methods from quantum physics that are covered here.
