Closure Strategies for Turbulent and Transitional Flows

Brian Edward Launder, N. D. Sandham

Cambridge University Press, Feb 21, 2002 - Mathematics - 754 pages

This book provides a comprehensive account of the state-of-the-art in predicting turbulent and transitional flows by some of the world's leaders in these fields. It can serve as a graduate-level textbook and, equally, as a reference book for research workers in industry or academia. It is structured in three parts: Physical and Numerical Techniques; Flow Types and Processes; and Future Directions. As the only broad account of the subject, it will prove indispensable for all working in Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), whether academics interested in turbulent flows, industrial researchers in CFD interested in understanding the models embedded in their software (or seeking more powerful models) or graduate students needing an introduction to this vital area.
