Summary

The articles in this 2000 volume, derived from a symposium held at the Newton Institute, examine a number of key questions in turbulence. Most involve mathematical analysis, but some describe numerical simulations and experimental results that focus on those questions. However, all are addressed to the whole turbulence community.
