What is An Introduction to Turbulent Flow by Jean Mathieu and Julian Scott. Cambridge University Press, 2000, ISBN 0521570662 about?

This book is intended as an introduction to the theory of turbulence. The book contains very detailed information on classical topics of turbulence, is clearly written and well presented, giving the reader a solid grounding for understanding the basic phenomena related to turbulence. In particular, Chapters 5, 7 and 8, describing classical models of turbulent jets, wakes and boundary layers, Kolmogorov's theories and numerical simulations of turbulent ̄ows, are very instructive. Moreover, certain topics (e.g., Kolmogorov's theories) are described in such great detail and in depth that can be found in journal papers only. This makes the book a comprehensive source for understanding the fundamentals and classical theories of turbulence and therefore a very useful tool for newcomers to the ®eld. However, most of the information included in the book is available in numerous monographs on turbulence published over the last 30 years. It is an unfortunate that the book does not challenge the reader with interesting problems to be solved, and the text does not provide a sucient number of examples and compelling illustrations. Our main criticism is with regards to the subjects that are not
