Introduction to Turbulent Flow

Klappentext Provides the physical and mathematical framework necessary to understand turbulent flow. Zusammenfassung An Introduction to Turbulent Flow develops both physical insight and the mathematical framework needed to express the theory. It begins with a review of the physical nature of turbulence! statistical tools! and space and time scales of turbulence. Basic theory is presented next! while remaining chapters cover spectral analysis and its applications and the numerical simulation of turbulent flows.
