Tackling Turbulent Flows in Engineering [electronic resource] / by Anupam Dewan. - XII, 124p. 27 illus. online resource.

Introduction -- Reynolds-Averaging and Closure Problem -- Models Based on Boussinesq Approximation -- Standard k-e Model -- Reynolds Stress Transport Models -- Direct Numerical Simulation -- Large Eddy Simulation -- Conclusions.

The emphasis of this book is on engineering aspects of fluid turbulence. The book explains for example how to tackle turbulence in industrial applications. It is useful to several disciplines, such as, mechanical, civil, chemical, aerospace engineers and also to professors, researchers, beginners, under graduates and post graduates. The following issues are emphasized in the book: - Modeling and computations of engineering flows: The author discusses in detail the quantities of interest for engineering turbulent flows and how to select an appropriate turbulence model; Also, a treatment of the selection of appropriate boundary conditions for the CFD simulations is given. - Modeling of turbulent convective heat transfer: This is encountered in several practical situations. It basically needs discussion on issues of treatment of walls and turbulent heat fluxes. - Modeling of buoyancy driven flows, for example, smoke issuing from chimney, pollutant discharge into water bodies, etc
