This is an advanced textbook on the subject of turbulence, and is suitable for engineers, physical scientists and applied mathematicians. The aim of the book is to bridge the gap between the elementary accounts of turbulence found in undergraduate texts, and the more rigorous monographs on the subject. Throughout, the book combines the maximum of physical insight with the minimum of mathematical detail. Chapters 1 to 5 may be appropriate as background material for an advanced undergraduate or introductory postgraduate course on turbulence, while chapters 6 to 10 may be suitable as background material for an advanced postgraduate course on turbulence, or act as a reference source for professional researchers. This second edition covers a decade of advancement in the field, streamlining the original content while updating the sections where the subject has moved on. The expanded content includes large-scale dynamics, stratified & rotating turbulence, the increased power of direct numerical simulation, two-dimensional turbulence, Magnetohydrodynamics, and turbulence in the core of the Earth Review: Excellent text that is what it says: and introduction - I loved the way the author introduces the subject. He doesn't rely exclusively on mathematics, but uses words to put into context the physical meaning of equations. Very well written. Review: The book itself is really good and physical - The book itself is really good and physical. Just got the second edition, haven't read it, I base my impressions on the first edition. However, I have to tell that the typesetting of the second edition (hardcover) is awful, moreover compared with the nice layout of the first edition (paperback). Just seems to be some crappy standard layout. Oxford university press did a very poor and cheap job, shame on them.

Excellent text that is what it says: and introduction
I loved the way the author introduces the subject. He doesn't rely exclusively on mathematics, but uses words to put into context the physical meaning of equations. Very well written.

Excellent
Very well written and illustrated. If I only had a few years to sit down and read it entirely!

Interesting book on Turbulence
Comprehensive approach to turbulence, complementary to Turbulence from Stephen Pope. Intends to be less mathematical and more physical.

good book
great supplement to Hinze's 1975 "Turbulence".

Excellent Book
This is "south asia edition" of the book. Pages are so thin you can see whats on the other side of the page. Keep this in mind while buying. Book itself doesn't need a comment, it is a standard, great book.

An excellent text on a hard subject
An excellent text on a hard subject. Full and comprehensive, well written too. The best book on turbulence I've seen, but then there aren't many other rivals.

Nice book
I purchased this book just several days after it was available on Amazon. Seems this is the first review of this 2nd version. I have read several classic books about turbulence but prefer this one as it's more physical rather than boring mathematical formulations.

Nice addition
Great book it helps explain the stuff in my other turbulence text books.
