Oxford University Press - The Physics of Fluid Turbulence

Explore the complex world of fluid turbulence with this authoritative text from the Oxford Engineering Science Series. This book examines turbulence as a universal phenomenon, treating it as a non-linear, non-equilibrium problem within statistical physics. It serves as a comprehensive resource for understanding how recent progress in laser anemometry, computer technology, and theoretical methods from quantum physics has transformed the field. The text provides a structured learning path, starting with a concise summary of turbulence science theory and practice up to 1960. It then moves into a detailed analysis of modern developments, offering a fully integrated view of the subject. Whether you are studying engineering science or theoretical physics, this work offers a deep look into the behaviors that define modern turbulence research.
