Summary

Fills a gap between the new fields of non-linear and chaotic dynamical systems, and the more traditional field of hydrodynamics and turbulence. The book contains the first coherent presentation of the applications of shell models to fully developed hydrodynamical turbulence.

Dynamical Systems Approach to Turbulence Summary

Dynamical Systems Approach to Turbulence by Tomas Bohr (University of Copenhagen)

This book, first published in 1998, treats turbulence from the point of view of dynamical systems. The exposition centres around a number of important simplified models for turbulent behaviour in systems ranging from fluid motion (classical turbulence) to chemical reactions and interfaces in disordered systems.The modern theory of fractals and multifractals now plays a major role in turbulence research, and turbulent states are being studied as important dynamical states of matter occurring also in systems outside the realm of hydrodynamics, i.e. chemical reactions or front propagation. The presentation relies heavily on simplified models of turbulent behaviour, notably shell models, coupled map lattices, amplitude equations and interface models, and the focus is primarily on fundamental concepts such as the differences between large and small systems, the nature of correlations and the origin of fractals and of scaling behaviour. This book will be of interest to graduate students and researchers interested in turbulence, from physics and applied mathematics backgrounds.
