Turbulent Flows

The book is great for both beginners and people who have spent some time doing turbulence research. I often find myself coming back to this book for some fundamental theoretical result.

I'm a graduate student doing research on large eddy simulation, and this is the turbulence book I always keep within arm's reach. This book is a great reference for basic concepts regarding turbulent flows as well as numerical simulations of turbulence, i.e. Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) modeling, Large Eddy Simulation (LES), and Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS). Part I of the book deals with some of the fundamentals of turbulence: the statistical approach to turbulence, free-shear and wall-bounded flows, and Kolmogorov theory. Part II deals with turbulence simulation and modeling. He discusses RANS (both eddy viscosity and Reynolds stress modeling), PDF methods, DNS, and LES. While the material in Part I is covered in greater detail by other authors (i.e. Tennekes & Lumley, Hinze, etc.), it still is very useful for someone becoming acquainted with turbulent flows for the first time. The material in Part II is perhaps the most valuable part of the book. It contains a great introduction to turbulent simulation and modeling without being overly technical.

The book is in very good shape. The delivery was in time. I am very much satisfied. Thanks to the seller.

When you start working with turbulence modeling everyone recommends this book. However, I would start reading something more simple and short, because I found this book to be very tedious and hard to read at first, although after a while you can appreciate how complete and detailed it is.

There are many text books in this field. this is one of the most comprehensive and well explained turbulence text books.The author does a very good job covering so many topics in this growing field, and many of the more minor concepts are explained in the exercises which is one of the advantages of this bookIf you want to only buy one book in this subject then it has to be this one!!

Thanks!

Arrived in perfect condition!
