Pipe Flow -- Channel Flow -- Drag -- Wind and Weather -- The Boundary Layer Concept -- The Mixing Length -- The Statistical Theory of Turbulence -- The Onset of Turbulence. Turbulence is a research field where high expectations have met with recurrent frustration. It is a commo…
Turbulence is a research field where high expectations have met with recurrent frustration. It is a common perception among physicists, mathematicians and engineers that there is a "big mystery" behind the phenomenon of turbulence. Its history has also remained anything but well…
