Direct and Large-eddy Simulation (De Gruyter Series in Computational Science and Engineering)

The series is devoted to the publication of high-level monographs and specialized graduate texts which cover the modern mathematical foundations behind computational science and its applications in physical and life sciences, and in engineering. One of its main objectives is to make available to the professional community expositions of results and in-depth presentation of techniques that are of current importance to technological and practical applications. This authoritative book presents an overview of the mathematics behind the simulation of turbulent flows and discusses in detail the phenomenology of turbulence in fluid dynamics, direct and large-eddy simulations, subgrid modeling, and also covers validation and reliability issues.
