Turbulence in Fluids (Fluid Mechanics and Its Applications, 84) by Marcel Lesieur (PDF)

Description

Now in its fully updated fourth edition, this leading text in its field is an exhaustive monograph on turbulence in fluids in its theoretical and applied aspects. The authors examine a number of advanced developments using mathematical spectral methods, direct-numerical simulations, and large-eddy simulations. The book remains a hugely important contribution to the literature on a topic of great importance for engineering and environmental applications, and presents a very detailed presentation of the field.

User’s Reviews

Editorial Reviews: Review From the reviews of the fourth edition:”Turbulence in Fluids contains a wealth of information, and its author is a top-tier scientist. … The book is logically ordered and contains a comprehensive list of 738 references. … Lesieur’s monograph is recommended for those who already know quite a bit about turbulence, for the theoretically inclined, and in particular for those interested in homogeneous turbulence and geophysical flows and their numerical simulation.” (Mohamed Gad-El-Hak, Siam Review, Vol. 51 (1), 2009) From the Back Cover This is the 4th edition of a book originally published by Kluwer Academic Publishers. It is an exhaustive monograph on turbulence in fluids in its theoretical and applied aspects, with many advanced developments using mathematical spectral methods (two-point closures like the EDQNM theory), direct-numerical simulations, and large-eddy simulations. The book is still of great actuality on a topic of the utmost importance for engineering and environmental applications, and presents a very detailed presentation of the field. The fourth edition incorporates new results coming from research work done since 1997. Many of these results come from direct and large-eddy simulations methods, which have provided significant advances in problems such as turbulent mixing or thermal exchanges (with and without gravity effects). Topics dealt with include: an introduction to turbulence in fluid mechanics; basic fluid dynamics; transition to turbulence; shear-flow turbulence; Fourier analysis for homogeneous turbulence; isotropic turbulence; phenomenology and simulations; analytical theories and stochastic models; two-dimensional turbulence; geostrophic turbulence; absolute-equilibrium ensembles; the statistical predictability theory; large-eddy simulations; and a section that explores developments towards real-world turbulence.

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐The book covers lots of encountered flow phenomena’s especially in the field of atmospherical fluid dynamics, it gives examples on the power of computational fluid dynamics turbulence models in capturing the discussed phenomena’s.Chapter 1 gives the reader a simplified introduction to the field of turbulence.Chapter 2 this chapter covers the used equations and principles to solve computational fluid dynamics problems, such as the conservation of momentum, conservation of mass, ideal gas definition. The chapter will cover the equations but would not tell you the methods to solve these kinds of equations.Chapter 3 this chapter covers the transition of a flow from a laminar state to a turbulent state. The method to do so is through using mathematical tools to quantify the stability of the flow.Chapter 4 this chapter covers shear flows turbulence, when turbulence occurs shear flow occurs the magnitude and rate of the turbulence are related to how much energy is put into the flow. Jet flows are the first example always covered to study shear flows that is why the chapter covers several types of jet flows including channel flows with some extent to mathematical formulations.Chapter 5 this chapter covers the flow quantification parameters these are important at the data analysis stage of the project and turbulence model development. This is done through applying the homogenous turbulence case. The way to derive these kinds of analysis tools is through the use of Fourier space mathematical tools, therefore you need to refresh you vector calculus and computational PDEs modules.Chapter 6 this chapter covers isotropic turbulence phenomenology which represents a theory to solve turbulence models therefore coverage of the flow energy spectra using mathematical spectral tools is done by the author, the main purpose of using the energy spectra tools is to verify that the numerical simulation is giving the correct results for the studied problem from an engineering point of view. The majority of interested researchers about the energy spectral are the ones who work closely in turbulence models development this is where mathematicians, physicists and programmers come in.Chapter 7 this chapter cover some analytical tools to study turbulence with the coverage of stochastic models.Chapter 8 This chapter talks about two dimensional turbulence, as it is known turbulence code development starts from a one dimensional case and processed to a two dimensional case.Chapter 9 This chapter focuses on three dimensional turbulence and its relation to geophysical application.Chapter 10 This chapter links the thermal side of a heart problem to solving the momentum and mass conservation equations, because heat is a contributing factor in lots of applications one of them is the geophysical side.Chapter 11 This chapter covers the use of probability tools on the Navier-Stokes equations to implement turbulence modelsChapter 12 This chapter covers the use of filtering tools on the Navier-Stokes equations to implement turbulence models which leads to filter out unwanted eddies from the simulation which in turn reduces computational time cost which is an important factor to achieve project deadlines.Chapter 13 This chapter cover four examples about turbulence models.I hope that was helpful good luck
