External Flows
“External” turbulent flows are those in which the turbulent region is significantly affected by at most one wall. An example is the boundary layer on an airfoil (Fig. 2.1) and an example without walls is the wake behind the airfoil. Although the interacti

Preface
Turbulent transport of momentum, heat and matter dominates many of the fluid flows found in physics, engineering and the environmental sciences. Complicated unsteady motions which mayor may not count as turbulence are found in interstellar dust clouds and in the larger blood vessels. The fascination of this nonlinear, irreversible stochastic pr
