Advances in Turbulence 2

This volume contains six invited lectures and many research papers presented by scientists and engineers from different disciplines actively engaged in turbulence research, both experimental and theoretical. The scope of the meeting encompassed free and wall-bounded turbulent shear flows, computational methods and novel measuring techniques. Special emphasis was laid on fundamental aspects of the following topics: stability and generation of turbulence, effects of rotation, stratification and buoyancy forces, novel instrumentation, manipulation and control, boundary layers with separation and reattachment, computer simulation, turbulent diffusion, image analysis and flow visualization, vorticity dynamics and turbulence, and large-scale structures. The book will be of particular interest to scientists working in fluid mechanics, meteorology and applied mathematics.
