Abstract: "An Introduction to Turbulent Flow offers a solid grounding in the subject of turbulence, developing both physical insight and the mathematical framework needed to express the theory." "This text will interest graduate students in mechanical, aerospace, chemical, and civil engineering, as well as in applied mathematics and the physical sciences. It will also be a useful reference for practicing engineers and scientists."--Jacket.
