Cover von Sedat Tardu: Statistical Approach to Wall Turbulence (ePUB)
Wall turbulence is encountered in many technological applications
as well as in the atmosphere, and a detailed understanding leading
to its management would have considerable beneficial consequences
in many areas. A lot of inspired work by experimenters,
theoreticians, engineers and mathematicians has been accomplished
over recent decades on this important topic and Statistical
Approach to Wall Turbulence provides an updated and integrated view
on the progress made in this area.

Wall turbulence is a complex phenomenon that has several industrial
applications, such as in aerodynamics, turbomachinery, geophysical
flows, internal engines, etc. Several books exist on fluid
turbulence, but Statistical Approach to Wall Turbulence is original
in the sense that it focuses solely on the turbulent flows bounded
by solid boundaries. The book covers the different physical aspects
of wall turbulence, beginning with classical phenomenological
aspects before advancing to recent research in the effects of the
Reynolds numbers, near wall coherent structures, and wall turbulent
transport process.

This book would be of interest to postgraduate and undergraduate
students in mechanical, chemical, and aerospace engineering, as
well as researchers in aerodynamics, combustion, and all
applications of wall turbulence.
