Modelling Turbulence in Engineering and the Environment - Rational Alternative Routes to Closure

New chapters devoted to unsteady RANS and to how LES and RANS strategies can be effectively combined ensure this remains the standard work for CFD users in industry and academia, and for graduate students in physics, applied mathematics and engineering entering the world of turbulent-flow CFD at the advanced level.

About the author

Kemal Hanjalić is Professor Emeritus at Delft University of Technology and an international fellow of the UK's Royal Academy of Engineering and the Russian Academy of Science. His innovative and sustained contributions to  turbulence-model development, including heat transfer and environmental flows have been recognised by the Max Planck and Nusselt-Reynolds Research Prizes.Brian Launder,  Emeritus Professor at the University of Manchester, has enjoyed more than a half-century of turbulence-modelling projects with his co-author. Widely cited for his two-equation eddy-viscosity modelling, his main focus has been stress-transport and non-linear eddy-viscosity closures. He was elected FRS and FREng for his turbulence research with honorary doctorates from three European universities.
