Turbulence

This leading text in its field is an exhaustive monograph on turbulence in fluids in its theoretical and applied aspects. This book is of great actuality on a topic of upmost importance for engineering and environmental applications, and proposes a very detailed presentation of the field. This edition incorporates results coming from research works which have been done since 1997, and revisits the older points of view in the light of these results. The book proposes many aerodynamic, thermalhydraulics and environmental applications.

This third issue on "progress in turbulence" is based on the third ITI conference (ITI interdisciplinary turbulence initiative), which took place in Bertinoro, North Italy. Researchers from the engineering and physical sciences gathered to present latest results on the rather notorious difficult and essentially unsolved problem of turbulence. This challenge is driving us in doing basic as well as applied research. Clear progress can be seen from these contributions in different aspects. New sophisticated methods achieve more and more insights into the underlying complexity of turbulence. The increasing power of computational methods allows studying flows in more details. Increasing demands of high precision large turbulence experiments become aware. In further applications turbulence seem to play a central issue. As such a new field this time the impact of turbulence on the wind energy conversion process has been chosen.
