Editorial Reviews

Articles of several pages define and explain most of the important concepts of turbulence, covering both fully developed turbulence in two and three dimensions, and weak turbulence in systems of one and two dimensions. Among them are extended self- similarity, numerical simulations, optical turbulence, probability density functions, and vorticity filaments. Accessible to readers new to the field. Annotation c.
