Summary: Simulation and Modeling of Turbulent Flows
Comment: It is an excellent book covering the main aspects of simulation of turbulent flows, starting from spectral energy transfer to development and applications of turbulence models. The chapters are written by famous names in the area, such as J. L. Lumley, C. G. Speziale and B. E. Launder.

J. L. Lumley writes chapter 1. This chapter presents a comprehensive overview of the main physical and modelling aspects involved in turbulence, from energy cascade to orthogonal decomposition and wavelet representations.

A. Leonard writes chapter 2. It discusses Direct Numerical Simulation, analysing the fundamental aspects of DNS and exploring the main features of incompressible and compressible turbulence.

J. H Ferziger writes chapter 3. This chapter describes the methods employed in Large Eddy Simulation. It starts with a brief overview of Reynolds averaged methods and DNS and presents the basic aspects of LES and its differences in relation to other approaches. It includes sections about filtering, subgrid models (including Smagorinski, dynamic procedure and spectral models), numerical methods and coherent structures capturing.

S. A. Orszag writes chapter 4. This chapter explains the concept of the renormalization group theory, discussing the basis of RNG method and illustrating its application to a variety of turbulent flow problems.

C. G. Speziale discusses Reynolds Averaged turbulence models in chapter 5. This chapter presents an overview on zero, one and two-equation models, presenting the full set of equations governing the flow. In addition, it presents the formulation for full second order closure and discusses its implications upon the prediction of turbulent fluid flows. The final two sections present the Reynolds Averaged equations for compressible flow and some illustrative examples.

B. E. Launder writes chapter 5. It examines the exact second-moment equations and the processes causing anisotropy. This chapter also presents the most popular current approaches for the second order closure problem and some basic guidelines.
