This is an advanced textbook on the subject of turbulence, and is
suitable for engineers, physical scientists and applied mathematicians.
The aim of the book is to bridge the gap between the elementary accounts
of turbulence found in undergraduate texts, and the more rigorous
monographs on the subject.
Throughout, the book combines the maximum of physical insight with the
minimum of mathematical detail. Chapters 1 to 5 may be appropriate as
background material for an advanced undergraduate or introductory
postgraduate course on turbulence, while chapters 6 to 10 may be
suitable as background material for an advanced postgraduate course on
turbulence, or act as a reference source for professional researchers.
This second edition covers a decade of advancement in the field,
streamlining the original content while updating the sections where the
subject has moved on. The expanded content includes large-scale
dynamics, stratified & rotating turbulence, the increased power of
direct numerical simulation, two-dimensional turbulence,
Magnetohydrodynamics, and turbulence in the core of the Earth
