Book description
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.
