Publisher's Synopsis
The wall is a source of many complexities, including turbulence modelling, and thus requires a thorough understanding of all the physics involved. This title provides scientists, researchers and engineers with all the necessary information on the physical analysis, measurement and calculation of these flows. Taking into account the latest developments in the field, it discusses the fundamentals of turbulence, phenomenology and closures of spectral behavior; the effect of the Reynolds number on parietal turbulence characteristics; and transport of vorticity.
