Chapter 1: A Brief Introduction to Turbulence (4,125k)

This unique book gives a general unified presentation of the use of the multiscale/multiresolution approaches in the field of turbulence. The coverage ranges from statistical models developed for engineering purposes to multiresolution algorithms for the direct computation of turbulence. It provides the only available up-to-date reviews dealing with the latest and most advanced turbulence models (including LES, VLES, hybrid RANS/LES, DES) and numerical strategies.

The book aims at providing the reader with a comprehensive description of modern strategies for turbulent flow simulation, ranging from turbulence modeling to the most advanced multilevel numerical methods.

"… the text is rather complete, clearly presented, and definitely pleasant to read. More space is devoted to discussions rather than equations, and the authors were careful to provide numerous figures to illustrate key ideas."
