This text is well-written and presents a lot of advanced material in relatively short order. However, the mathematics involved are quite advanced and the book is certainly intended only for people with some background in fluids - it is far from an "introductory" text!

This book is really great! The complex things in turbulence are explained in that way I've never seen it before. There are a lot of great figures that are explaining a lot of things - for example, vorticity dynamics is followed with great pictures. Main topic of this book is physical aspect of turbulence, and that's great.

If you're dealing (better to say coping) with turbulence in some way, you should have this book - specially if you're a novice in this area.

a book covering many interesting topics and i believe a student of turbulence will be very well-equiped in the basics of modern understandings of turbulence after reading this book. but what a poor page layout. the fonts are small and the book undoubtedly is bulkier because so much space is wasted on the wide margins! i think i had read somewhere that these margins would make the book a good study tools. readers can write on them. what nonsense! they could have just used a conventional layout, save plenty of pages and reading it would be better for my eyes. i can write notes and work out the equations, etc, on some notepad i have. i think it worths minusing two stars for the layout. you can say i judge this book by its font size.
