Homogeneous, Isotropic Turbulence: Phenomenology, Renormalization and Statistical Closures

by William David McComb

Fluid turbulence is often referred to as the unsolved problem of classical physics'. Yet, paradoxically, its mathematical description resembles quantum field theory. The present book addresses the idealised problem posed by homogeneous, isotropic turbulence, in order to concentrate on the fundamental aspects of the general problem. It is written from the perspective of a theoretical physicist, but is designed to be accessible to all researchers in...
