Discusses progress and some of the unresolved issues in two- and three-dimensional turbulence as well as scalar compressible turbulence. This title also discusses subrigid-scale modeling and hybrid methods involving a mix of Reynolds-averaged Navier - Stokes (RANS), large-eddy simulations (LES), and direct numerical simulations (DNS).
? this is a welcome book posing interesting questions concerning the development of turbulence theory and computations in 2D and 3D for many essential industrial and environmental issues, which should be read by any researcher interested in this important topic. -Marcel Lesieur (French Academy of Sciences and Grenoble Institute of Technology), Theoretical and Computational Fluid Dynamics, Vol. 22, 2008
