An accessible introduction to turbulence modelling, combining core theory with practical use of the most common models

Turbulence and Transport Phenomena: Modelling Techniques in Computational Fluid Dynamics offers a clear and practical introduction to turbulence theory and its modelling strategy. It bridges fundamental principles with real-world CFD implementation, making complex ideas accessible without losing technical depth.

The book builds upon essential fluid mechanics and mathematical foundations, ultimately progressing to advanced turbulence modelling methods, including RANS, LES, and compressible flow analysis. Step-by-step derivations, examples, and practical guidance help readers connect theory to engineering practice.

Turbulence and Transport Phenomena includes key features such as: - Fundamentals of fluid motion and the meticulous derivation of the Navier-Stokes equations
- Energy and species transport, boundary and initial conditions
- Detailed RANS and LES modelling approaches
- Vorticity dynamics and turbulent transport mechanisms
- Compressible turbulence and coherent structures
- Curvature and corner flow corrections

Designed for both newcomers and experienced professionals, Turbulence and Transport Phenomena provides the knowledge and tools needed to master turbulence modelling in aerospace, automotive, energy, environmental, and process engineering applications.
