Dynamical Systems Approach to Turbulence

by Giovanni Paladin, Tomas Bohr, Mogens Hygum Jensen, et al.

Book Overview

In recent decades, turbulence has evolved into a very active field of theoretical physics. The origin of this development is the approach to turbulence from the point of view of deterministic dynamical systems, and this book shows how concepts developed for low dimensional chaotic systems are applied to turbulent states. This book centers around a number of important simplified models for turbulent behavior in systems ranging from fluid motion (classical...
