'This book is an outcome of the author's life-long obsession with the mechanism of energy transfers in turbulent flows.' Jayant Bhattacharjee, Indian Association for the Cultivation of Science 'Nicely organized in parts devoted to increasingly complex flows, it is a perfect book to explore the theoretical description of Navier-Stokes turbulence as well as flows with scalars, vectors and more exotic systems.' Daniele Carati, Universite Libre de Bruxelles 'This comprehensive book discusses an impressive array of applications from a unified point of view.' Arnab Rai Choudhuri, Indian Institute of Science 'The monograph will be an invaluable resource to students and researchers interested in the application of energy transfer theory to fluids and magnetofluids.' Melvyn Goldstein, NASA 'This book is an outstanding achievement whose many examples and illustrations make the reading as fluid as the subject matter.' Franck Plunian, Universite Grenoble Alpes 'It is a self-contained monograph which will certainly be of direct use to a large audience, from graduate students to scholars and researchers.' Annick Pouquet, University of Colorado, Boulder 'This book, addressed to graduate students and researchers, covers vast areas of fluid dynamics and presents each domain in a precise manner.' Maurice Rossi, Universite Pierre et Marie Curie, Paris 'This monograph clearly articulates the multiscale energy transfer perspectives for turbulent flows, advanced prominently by the author and his co-workers.' K. R. Sreenivasan, New York University 'This impressive monograph will serve as a highly valuable reference to researchers in turbulence and other fields for many years to come.' P. K.
