Turbulent Flow, Modeling

Fluid Mechanics for Engineers

Fundamentals of Turbulent Flows

The preceding Chapter dealt with stability of laminar flows, their perturbation and transition to the turbulent state. In discussing the transition process, we prepared the essentials for better understanding the basic physics of the more complex turbulent flow, which is still an unresolved and extremely challenging problem in fluid mechanics.
