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
