Ten Chapters in Turbulence

Herausgeber: Davidson, Peter A.; Sreenivasan, Katepalli R.; Kaneda, Yukio

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Despite extensive research, our understanding of the fundamental nature of turbulence is still tentative and incomplete. Here, leading experts summarize our current understanding from theoretical, experimental, observational and computational points of view. This book will be useful to anyone working in turbulence and related fields beyond the graduate level.
