Parviz Moin is the Franklin P. and Caroline M. Johnson Professor in the School of Engineering and founding director of the Center for Turbulence Research at Stanford University. He pioneered the development of Direct and Large Eddy Simulation techniques and their use for the study of turbulence physics, control and modeling concepts. Professor Moin is a member of the US National Academy of Sciences and the National Academy of Engineering, and is a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA), and the American Physical Society (APS). Ronald Chan is a Senior Scientist at the Institute of High Performance Computing (IHPC) of the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR) in Singapore. He received his S.B. in Engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and conducted his Ph.D. research, with the support of A*STAR's National Science Scholarship, on the turbulent bubble breakup cascade in oceanic breaking waves at the Center for Turbulence Research at Stanford University, where he assisted in the instruction of the graduate turbulence course that inspired this book. His research interests focus on simulating and modeling multiphysics turbulent flows and plasmas.
‘An excellent textbook for introductory graduate courses on turbulence. The authors provide concise and yet detailed presentations on the essential topics of turbulent flows, ranging from the fundamental physics of turbulence to the frontiers of the present-day numerical simulation of turbulence. Also, an excellent reference for physicists and applied mathematicians interested to gain insights into the intrigues of turbulence.’ John Kim, University of California, Los Angeles ‘An excellent introduction to flow turbulence, expertly framed for the current era, where scale-resolving turbulence simulations are an invaluable partner, and presented with an admirable emphasis on actionable knowledge.’ Jonathan Freund, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign ‘Bringing a much-needed modern perspective to turbulence, this book is destined to become an instant classic. 50 years of knowledge is distilled into a compendium of meticulously curated topics, illustrations, and exercise problems. A must-read for students and researchers alike!’ Rajat Mittal, Johns Hopkins University ‘The systematic use of numerical-simulation data to support the theory, and the sidebars describing real-life applications, often with a quantitative analysis, are invaluable tools. The last chapter is a complete, hands-on, tutorial for researchers interested in numerical simulation of turbulence- I wish this was available when I was a graduate student.’ Ugo Piomelli, Queen’s University Canada
