Turbulence in Fluids (eBook, PDF)

Beschreibung

This is the 4th edition of a book originally published by Kluwer Academic Publishers. It 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. The fourth edition incorporates new results coming from research work done since 1997. Many of these results come from direct and large-eddy simulations methods, which have provided significant advances in problems such as turbulent mixing or thermal exchanges (with and without gravity effects).

Topics dealt with include: an introduction to turbulence in fluid mechanics; basic fluid dynamics; transition to turbulence; shear-flow turbulence; Fourier analysis for homogeneous turbulence; isotropic turbulence; phenomenology and simulations; analytical theories and stochastic models; two-dimensional turbulence; geostrophic turbulence; absolute-equilibrium ensembles; the statistical predictability theory; large-eddy simulations; and a section that explores developments towards real-world turbulence.

Rezensionen

From the reviews of the fourth edition:

"Turbulence in Fluids contains a wealth of information, and its author is a top-tier scientist. ... The book is logically ordered and contains a comprehensive list of 738 references. ... Lesieur's monograph is recommended for those who already know quite a bit about turbulence, for the theoretically inclined, and in particular for those interested in homogeneous turbulence and geophysical flows and their numerical simulation." (Mohamed Gad-El-Hak, Siam Review, Vol. 51 (1), 2009)

`Turbulence in Fluids will serve as a graduate-text to follow up... '
Pageoph
`The book that Professor Lesieur has written on turbulence is an irreplaceable subject. Lesieur's work mixes rigor and intuition. ... it is the spirit in which it is written that is striking. Moreover the book is attractively presented. At the present time is seems difficult to ignore this book which fits very well into the collection of classical works on the subject.'
Prof. J. Mathieu, Laboratoire de Mécanique des Fluides et d'Acoustique
`The book is attractively produced ... some beautiful photographs ... this is an interesting and attractive book. Everyone interested in the more theoretical aspects of turbulence will want to read it. '
D.C. Leslie in Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 194
` .. a useful text for a first course in turbulence for physicists, or as a second course for engineering students who have already had a more phenomenological introduction to the subject. It is a useful reference for the specialist who may not keep at his fingertips some of the details of the analytical theories and stochastic models. '
