Turbulence: An Introduction for Scientists and Engineers

The book itself is really good and physical. Just got the second edition, haven't read it, I base my impressions on the first edition. However, I have to tell that the typesetting of the second edition (hardcover) is awful, moreover compared with the nice layout of the first edition (paperback). Just seems to be some crappy standard layout. Oxford university press did a very poor and cheap job, shame on them.

Very well written and illustrated. If I only had a few years to sit down and read it entirely!

great supplement to Hinze's 1975 "Turbulence".

Comprehensive approach to turbulence, complementary to Turbulence from Stephen Pope. Intends to be less mathematical and more physical.

An excellent text on a hard subject. Full and comprehensive, well written too. The best book on turbulence I've seen, but then there aren't many other rivals.

Indian edition book, paper back ( No color pages inside the book i.e. black and white pages).The content is the same as per original 2nd Ed. book but smaller in size. Paper quality is good. They reduced the cost by avoiding colored pages but the 1 edition was colored one.This book is intended to physically understand the TURBULENCE in terms of vortoical structures and has a correct balance of math and flow physics. Very nice explanation !Thanks Aamzon delivered an order on time but confused the delivery date via SMS.

Great book it helps explain the stuff in my other turbulence text books.

Reliable & as expected.

I purchased this book just several days after it was available on Amazon. Seems this is the first review of this 2nd version. I have read several classic books about turbulence but prefer this one as it's more physical rather than boring mathematical formulations.
