Introduction to turbulence -- Statistical description of turbulent flows -- Wall-bounded turbulent flows -- Free turbulent flows: jets and wakes -- Vortex dynamics -- Homogeneous and isotropic turbulence -- The dynamics of isotropic turbulence -- Direct and large eddy simulation of turbulent flows -- Turbulence models -- Experimental methods |
| Summary |
This book covers the major problems of turbulence and turbulent processes, including physical phenomena, their modeling and their simulation |
|
After a general introduction in Chapter 1 illustrating many aspects dealing with turbulent flows, averaged equations and kinetic energy budgets are provided in Chapter 2 |
|
The concept of turbulent viscosity as a closure of the Reynolds stress is also introduced |
|
Wall-bounded flows are presented in Chapter 3, and aspects specific to boundary layers and channel or pipe flows are also pointed out |
|
Free shear flows, namely free jets and wakes, are considered in Chapter 4 |
|
Chapter 5 deals with vortex dynamics |
|
Homogeneous turbulence, isotropy, and dynamics of isotropic turbulence are presented in Chapters 6 and 7 |
|
Turbulence is then described both in the physical space and in the wave number space |
|
Time dependent numerical simulations are presented in Chapter 8, where an introduction to large eddy simulation is offered |
|
The last three chapters of the book summarize remarkable digital techniques current and experimental |
|
Many results are presented in a practical way, based on both experiments and numerical simulations |
|
The book is written for a advanced engineering students as well as postgraduate engineers and researchers |
|
For students, it contains the essential results as well as details and demonstrations whose oral transmission is often tedious |
|
At a more advanced level, the text provides numerous references which allow readers to find quickly further study regarding their work, and to acquire a deeper knowledge on topics of interest |
