This title provides the fundamental bases for developing turbulence
models on rational grounds. The main different methods of approach
are considered, ranging from statistical modelling at various
degrees of complexity to numerical simulations of turbulence. Each
of these various methods has its own specific performances and
limitations, which appear to be complementary rather than
competitive. After a discussion of the basic concepts, mathematical
tools and methods for closure, the book considers second order
closure models. Emphasis is placed upon this approach because it
embodies potentials for clarifying numerous problems in turbulent
shear flows. Simpler, generally older models are then presented as
simplified versions of the more general second order models. The
influence of extra physical parameters is also considered. Finally,
the book concludes by examining large Eddy numerical simulations
methods.
Given the book’s comprehensive coverage, those involved in the theoretical or practical study of turbulence problems in fluids will find this a useful and informative read.
