Turbulent Flows Stephen B. Pope is an English-language graduate text on an important topic in fluid mechanics. The book is based on a course the author taught for many years at Cornell University and provides a complete overview of turbulent flows.
The text is structured in two parts and multiple appendices. Part I discusses the characteristics and quantitative descriptions of turbulent flows, as well as the fundamental physical processes. Part II focuses on models and simulations of turbulent flows. Mathematical techniques needed for these topics are covered in the appendices.
This study book is intended for students in engineering, applied mathematics, and physics, but it is also valuable for researchers and professionals working in fluid mechanics. It connects with disciplines such as mechanical engineering, wave mechanics, and general physics.
