"Turbulence in Fluids" by Marcel Lesieur (Repost)

This leading text in its field is an exhaustive monograph on turbulence in fluids in its theoretical and applied aspects. This book is of great actuality on a topic of upmost importance for engineering and environmental applications, and proposes a very detailed presentation of the field. This edition incorporates results coming from research works which have been done since 1997, and revisits the older points of view in the light of these results. The book proposes many aerodynamic, thermalhydraulics and environmental applications.

This is book 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.

The book is still of great actuality on a topic of the utmost importance for engineering and environmental applications, and presents a very detailed presentation of the field.

• A complete introduction of fluid mechanics necessary to deal with incompressible and compressible turbulence
• A clear synthesis of turbulence and coherent-vortex dynamics in a wide range of shear flows
• A detailed presentation of spectral closures applied to velocity and scalar mixing in turbulence
• Details on advanced subgrid models for large-eddy simulations
• Numerous applications to industrial and environmental problems
