متن کاملTurbulence for (and By) Amateurs
4. Series of lectures on statistical turbulence written for amateurs but not experts. Elementary aspects and problems of turbulence in two and three dimensional Navier-Stokes equation are introduced. A few properties of scalar turbulence and transport phenomena in turbulent flows are described. Kraichnan’s model of passive advection is discussed a bit more precisely. Part 1: Approaching turbule...
