Tennekes H., Lumley J.L. A First Course in Turbulence

Cambridge University Press, 2011. - 450 pages. Turbulence is widely recognized as one of the outstanding problems of the physical sciences, but it still remains only partially understood despite having attracted the sustained efforts of many leading scientists for well over a century. In A Voyage Through Turbulence we are transported through a crucial period of the history of the subject via biographies of twelve of its great personalities, sta...

Cambridge University Press, 2011. 168 p. ISBN: 0521190363 Turbulence is a huge subject of ongoing research. This book bridges the modern development in dynamical systems theory and the theory of fully developed turbulence. Many solved and unsolved problems in turbulence have equivalencies in simple dynamical models, which are much easier to handle analytically and numerically. This book gives a modern view of the subject by first giving the ess...

Cambridge University Press, 1996. - 312 pages. Written five centuries after the first studies of Leonardo da Vinci and half a century after A.N. Kolmogorov's first attempt to predict the properties of flow, this textbook presents a modern account of turbulence, one of the greatest challenges in physics. "Fully developed turbulence" is ubiquitous in both cosmic and natural environments, in engineering applications and in everyday life. Elementary...

Elservier, Physics Reports 287, 1997. р. 337-384 Abstract For fluid flow one has a well-accepted mathematical model: the Navier-Stokes equations. Why, then, is the problem of turbulence so intractable? One major difficulty is that the equations appear insoluble in any reasonable sense. (A direct numerical simulation certainly yields a "solution", but it provides little understanding of the process per se. ) However, three developments are begin...

The Catholic University of America, 1969. 70 p. A detailed experimental investigation of the structure of weak turbulence generated by various single and multiple-stage grids has been made. The weak turbulent fields were limited to those having no interaction with the mean flow field. The present study covers a range of Reynolds numbers of turbulence between 70 and 7. Components of turbulence were found to have equipartition of energy in the fi...

4th Edition, Springer, 2008. 558 p. ISBN:978-1-4020-6434-0 (HB), ISBN:978-1-4020-6435-7 (e-book). This is the 4th edition of a book originally published by Kluwer Academic Publishers. It is an exhaustive monograph on turbulence in fluids in its theoretical and applied aspects, with many advanced developments using mathematical spectral methods (two-point closures like the EDQNM theory), direct-numerical simulations, and large-eddy simulations....

Sрringer, 2007. 306 p. ISBN:3540326022. Proceedings of the iTi Conference in Turbulence 2005. Besides turbulence there is hardly any other scientific topic which has been considered as a prominent scientific challenge for such a long time. The special interest in turbulence is not only based on it being a difficult scientific problem but also on its meaning in the technical world and our daily life. This carefully edited book comprises recent b...

Elsevier Science, 1999. 972p. ISBN: 0080433286 These proceedings contain the papers presented at the 4th International Symposium on Engineering Turbulence Modelling and Measurements held at Ajaccio, Corsica, France from 24-26 May 1999. It follows three previous conferences on the topic of engineering turbulence modelling and measurements. The purpose of this series of symposia is to provide a forum for presenting and discussing new development...

Elsevier Science, 2002. 1020 p. ISBN: 0080441149 Turbulence is one of the key issues in tackling engineering flow problems. As powerful computers and accurate numerical methods are now available for solving the flow equations, and since engineering applications nearly always involve turbulence effects, the reliability of CFD analysis depends increasingly on the performance of the turbulence models.
