This textbook is based on the lectures on turbulence given in the Masters programme at Université Pierre et Marie Curie and Ecole Polytechnique. The book covers the classic topics on turbulence that includes: introduction to fundamentals of statistical and spectral analysis, dimensional analysis, Kolmogorov theory and energy cascade, the hierarchy of turbulent flows ranging from isotropic turbulence to non-homogeneous shear flows, and extension to compressible turbulence illuminated using Kovasznay model decomposition.A substantial section of this volume is devoted to exercises and...

The Turbulence and Interactions 2009 (TI2009) conference was held in Saint- Luce on the island of La Martinique, France, on May 31-June 5, 2009. The sci- tific sponsors of the conference were DGA Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne (EPFL), ERCOFTAC: European Research Community on Flow, Turbulence and Combustion, Institut Jean Le Rond d Alembert, Paris, ONERA. This second TI conference was very successful as it attracted 65 researchers from 17 countries. The magnificent venue and the beautiful weather helped the participants to discuss freely and casually, share ideas and projects, and...

The Turbulence and Interactions 2006 (TI2006) conference was held on the island of Porquerolles, France, May 29-June 2, 2006. The scientific sponsors of the conference were Association Francaise de Mecanique, CD-adapco, DGA Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne (EPFL), ERCOFTAC: European Research Community on Flow, Turbulence and Combustion, FLUENT, The French Ministery of Foreign Affairs, Laboratoire de Modelisation en Mecanique, Paris 6, ONERA. The conference was a unique event. Never before have so many organisations concerned with turbulence works come together in one conference. As...
