Turbulent flows are characterized by the non-linear cascades of energy and other inviscid
invariants across a huge range of scales, from where they are injected to where they are …

Closed-loop turbulence control is a critical enabler of aerodynamic drag reduction, lift
increase, mixing enhancement, and noise reduction. Current and future applications have …

When discussing research in physics and in science more generally, it is common to ascribe
equal importance to the three components of the scientific trinity: theoretical, experimental …

Chaotic dynamics can be considered as a physical phenomenon that bridges the regular
evolution of systems with the random one. These two alternative states of physical …

Mathematics is playing an ever more important role in the physical and biological sciences,
provoking a blurring of boundaries between scienti? c disciplines and a resurgence of …

The understanding of fluid turbulence has considerably progressed in recent years. The
application of the methods of statistical mechanics to the description of the motion of fluid …

Mixing of initially distinct substances plays an important role in our daily lives as well as in
ecological and technological worlds. From the continuum point of view, which we adopt …

This book comprises seven chapters, an appendix, a bibliographical section 98 references,
and an index. Exercises are provided at the end of each chapter. The stated goal of the book …

Chaos: from simple models to complex systems aims to guide science and engineering
students through chaos and nonlinear dynamics from classical examples to the most recent …

Extreme events in fluid flows, waves, or structures interacting with them are critical for a wide
range of areas, including reliability and design in engineering, as well as modeling risk of …
