Turbulent Motion. The Structure of Chaos

  • Yu. L. Klimontovich
Part of the Fundamental Theories of Physics book series (FTPH, volume 42)

Abstract

Turbulence even to this day remains one of the most complicated and enigmatic kinds of motion. The phenomenon of turbulence was first discovered in connection with the studies of piped flows of incompressible fluids, and for a long time had been treated as a subject of fluid mechanics. It seems that a chapter on turbulence as a physical phenomenon was for the first time included into a course of statistical physics by the author in 1982 (Klimontovich, iv).
