Vorticity and Turbulence

Více o knize

The book explores turbulence theory through the vorticity field, emphasizing its natural fit for incompressible flow. It highlights the historical contributions of Onsager and Joyce and Montgomery to two-dimensional vortex systems, while acknowledging the ongoing challenges in developing a robust three-dimensional theory. The initial chapters provide a foundational overview of homogeneous turbulence, including a detailed review of fluid mechanics and Fourier theory, and discuss Kolmogorov's inertial range theory, suggesting a potential equilibrium spectrum for the inertial spectrum.
