OverviewThis is an advanced textbook on the subject of turbulence, and is suitable for engineers, physical scientists and applied mathematicians. The aim of the book is to bridge the gap between the elementary accounts of turbulence found in undergraduate texts, and the more rigorous monographs on the subject. Throughout, the book combines the maximum of physical insight with the minimum of mathematical detail. Chapters 1 to 5 may be appropriate as background material for an advanced undergraduate or introductory postgraduate course on turbulence, while chapters 6 to 10 may be suitable as background material for an advanced postgraduate course on turbulence, or act as a reference source for professional researchers.This second edition covers a decade of advancement in the field, streamlining the original content while updating the sections where the subject has moved on. The expanded content includes large-scale dynamics, stratified & rotating turbulence, the increased power of direct numerical simulation, two-dimensional turbulence, Magnetohydrodynamics, and turbulence in the core of the Earth Full Product DetailsAuthor: Peter Davidson (Professor of Fluid Mechanics, Professor of Fluid Mechanics, University of Cambridge)Publisher: Oxford University Press Imprint: Oxford University Press Edition: 2nd Revised edition Dimensions: Width: 19.00cm , Height: 3.10cm , Length: 24.60cm Weight: 1.382kg ISBN: 9780198722595ISBN 10: 0198722591 Pages: 656 Publication Date: 11 June 2015 Audience: College/higher education , Undergraduate , Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly Format: Paperback Publisher's Status: Active Availability: To order  Stock availability from the supplier is unknown.
