Turbulence Nature and the Inverse Problem

Hydrodynamic equations well describe averaged parameters of turbulent steady flows, at least in pipes where boundary conditions can be estimated. The equations might outline the parameters fluctuations as well, if entry conditions at current boundaries we

FLUID MECHANICS AND ITS APPLICATIONS Volume 89 Series Editor:

R. MOREAU MADYLAM Ecole Nationale Supérieure d’Hydraulique de Grenoble Boîte Postale 95 38402 Saint Martin d’Hères Cedex, France

Aims and Scope of the Series The purpose of this series is to focus on subjects in which fluid mechanics plays a fundamental role. As well as the more traditional applications of aeronautics, hydraulics, heat and mass transfer etc., books will be published dealing with topics which are currently in a state of rapid development, such as turbulence, suspensions and multiphase fluids, super and hypersonic flows and numerical modeling techniques. It is a widely held view that it is the interdisciplinary subjects that will receive intense scientific attention, bringing them to the forefront of technological advancement. Fluids have the ability to transport matter and its properties as well as to transmit force, therefore fluid mechanics is a subject that is particularly open to cross fertilization with other sciences and disciplines of engineering. The subject of fluid mechanics will be highly relevant in domains such as chemical, metallurgical, biological and ecological engineering. This series is particularly open to such new multidisciplinary domains. The median level of presentation is the first year graduate student. Some texts are monographs defining the current state of a field; others are accessible to final year undergraduates; but essentially the emphasis is on readability and clarity.

Preface

Turbulent dynamics of fluids and gases occurs in a variety of natural and technical systems. Turbulence plays a fundamental role in the atmospheres of the Earth and the Sun, the intermixing of fluids in oceans, and river flows. Understanding turbulence is necessary to calculate the parameters of media flows in pipes, flows of air around cars, aircrafts, and space vehicles in the atmosphere. Due to the wide
