The aim of this book is to give, within a single volume, an introduction to the fields of turbulence modelling and transition-to-turbulence prediction, and to provide the physical background for today's modelling approaches in these problem areas as well as giving a flavour of advanced use of prediction methods. Turbulence modelling approaches, ranging from single-point models based on the eddy-viscosity concept and the Reynolds stress transport equations (Chapters 3,4,5), to large-eddy simulation (LES) techniques (Ch. 7), are covered. The foundations of hydrodynamical stability and transition are presented (Ch. 2) along with transition prediction methods based on single-point closures (Ch. 6), LES techniques (Ch. 7) and the parabolized stability equations (Ch. 8). The book addresses engineers and researchers, in industry or academia, who are entering into the fields of turbulence or transition modelling research or need to apply turbulence or transition prediction methods in their work.

List of contents

1 Introduction.- 2 Stability and transition.- 3 The basics of turbulence modelling.- 4 Constitutive relations and realizability of single-point turbulence closures.- 5 Advanced turbulence models for industrial application.- 6 One-point closures applied to transition.- 7 Large-Eddy Simulations: theory and applications.- 8 Transition modeling based on the PSE.

Report

`In summary, the editors and authors are to be congratulated for producing an excellent text wthat will become a basic reference in the fields of turbulence and transition modeling and research.'
