Multiscale And Multiresolution Approaches In Turbulence

“. . . 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.” Mathematical Reviews “The authors are to be congratulated on the considerable task of putting together this material in such a high quality manner . . . this is a very comprehensive documentation of a variety of approaches to turbulence and presents this in a unified manner by the prior definition of multiscale and multiresolution methods. Much of the material covered is recent and represents the latest knowledge in this area. I would recommend the book to practitioners in the field of turbulence simulation both to provide information on new techniques that they may wish to apply in their own area and to provide a reference on more well-used Les and Des techniques.” Journal of Fluid Mechanics 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.
