| Summary |
"This is a graduate text on turbulent flows, an important topic in fluid dynamics. It is up to date, comprehensive, and designed for teaching, it is based on a course taught by the author at Cornell University for a number of years." "This book is primarily intended as a graduate-level text in turbulent flows for engineering students, but it may also be valuable to students in applied mathematics, physics, oceanography, and atmospheric sciences, as well as researchers and practicing engineers."--BOOK JACKET |
