Abstract: This is an advanced textbook on the subject of turbulence, and is suitable for engineers, geophysicists, and applied mathematicians. The aim of the book is to bridge the gap between the elementary, heuristic accounts of turbulence to be found in undergraduate texts, and the more rigorous, if daunting, accounts given in the many monographs on the subject. Throughout, the book combines the maximum of physical insight with the minimum of mathematical detail.
Contents: The ubiquitous nature of turbulence -- The equations of fluid mechanics -- The origins and nature of turbulence -- Turbulent shear flows and simple closure models -- The phenomenology of Taylor, Richardson, and Kolmogorov -- Isotropic turbulence (in real space) -- The role of numerical simulations -- Isotropic turbulence (in spectral space) -- The influence of rotation, stratification, and magnetic fields on turbulence -- Two-dimensional turbulence.
