Closure Strategies for Turbulent and Transitional Flowsby B. E. Launder; N. D. Sandham
Cambridge University Press 2002; US$ 151.00Turbulence modelling is critically important for industries dealing with fluid flow and for applied mathematicians. This collection of lecture courses presented at a Newton Institute instructional conference on the title topic by leading researchers, has been edited or rewritten to provide a coherent account suitable for self-study. more...
Navier-Stokes Equations and Turbulenceby C. Foias; Oscar Manley; Ricardo M. S. Rosa; R. Temam; G.-C. Rota
Cambridge University Press 2001; US$ 59.00This book presents the mathematical theory of turbulence to engineers and physicists, and the physical theory of turbulence to mathematicians. The mathematical technicalities are kept to a minimum within the book, enabling the language to be at a level understood by a broad audience. Each chapter is accompanied by appendices giving full details of the mathematical proofs and subtleties. This unique presentation should ensure a volume of interest to mathematicians, engineers, and physicists. more...
Computational Models for Turbulent Reacting Flowsby Rodney O. Fox; Arvind Varma
Cambridge University Press 2003; US$ 86.00This book presents the current state of the art in computational models for turbulent reacting flows, and analyzes carefully the strengths and weaknesses of the various techniques described. The focus is on formulation of practical models as opposed to numerical issues arising from their solution. more...
Turbulenceby O.M. Belotserkovskii; A.M. Oparin; V.M. Chechetkin
Cambridge International Science Publishing 2005; US$ 135.00The authors present the results of numerical experiments carried out to examine the problem of development of turbulence and convection. On the basis of the results, they propose a physical model of the development of turbulence. Numerical algorithms and difference schema for carrying out numerical experiments in hydrodynamics, are proposed. Original algorithms, suitable for calculation of the development of the processes of turbulence and convection in different conditions, even on astrophysical objects, are presented. The results of numerical modelling of several important phenomena having both fundamental and applied importance are described. more...
Molecular And Particle Modelling Of Laminar And Turbulent Flowsby Donald Greenspan
World Scientific 2005; US$ 62.40Turbulence is the most fundamental and, simultaneously, the most complex form of fluid flow. However, because an understanding of turbulence requires an understanding of laminar flow, both are explored in this book. Groundwork is laid by careful delineation of the necessary physical, mathematical, and numerical requirements for the studies which follow, and include discussions of N-body problems, classical molecular mechanics, dynamical equations, and the leap frog formulas for very large systems of second order ordinary differential equations. more...
Progress in Turbulenceby J. Peinke; A. Kittel; S. Barth; M. Oberlack
Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG 2005; US$ 199.00Besides turbulence, there is hardly any other scientific topic which has been considered a prominent scientific challenge for such a long time. The special interest in turbulence is not only based on it being a difficult scientific problem but also on its meaning in the technical world and our daily life. This carefully edited book comprises recent basic research as well as research related to the applications of turbulence. Therefore, both leading engineers and physicists working in the field of turbulence were invited to the iTi Conference on Turbulence held in Bad Zwischenahn, Gemany 21st - 24th of September 2003. Topics discussed include, for example, scaling laws and intermittency, thermal convection, boundary layers at large Reynolds... more...
Mathematical and Physical Theory of Turbulenceby Cannon John
Taylor & Francis 2006; US$ 139.95Discusses progress and some of the major unresolved issues in two- and three-dimensional turbulence as well as scalar compressible turbulence. This book examines a variety of turbulence-related topics. It promotes advances in applied mathematicians, physicists, and engineers involved in understanding the complex issues of the turbulence problem. more...
Frontiers In Turbulence And Coherent Structuresby Jim Denier; Jorgen S Frederiksen
World Scientific 2007; US$ 185.90This book is based on the proceedings of the COSNet/CSIRO Workshop on Turbulence and Coherent Structures held at the Australian National University in Canberra in January 2006. It codifies recent developments in our understanding of the dynamics and statistical dynamics of turbulence and coherent structures in fluid mechanics, atmospheric and oceanic dynamics, plasma physics, and dynamical systems theory. It brings together articles by internationally acclaimed researchers from around the world including Dijkstra (Utrecht), Holmes (Princeton), Jimenez (UPM and Stanford), Krommes (Princeton), McComb (Edinburgh), Chong (Melbourne), Dewar (ANU), Watmuff (RMIT) and Frederiksen (CSIRO). The book will prove a useful resource for researchers as well... more...
