The present book contains papers that have been selected from contributions to the First International Symposium on Turbulent Shear Flows which was held from th

Develops a physical theory from the mass of experimental results, with revisions to reflect advances of recent years.

The Fourth International Symposium on Turbulent Shear Flows took place at Karlsruhe University in Germany. The papers presented at this Symposium encompassed a

A good understanding of turbulent compressible flows is essential to the design and operation of high-speed vehicles. Such flows occur, for example, in the exte

Starting from fundamentals of classical stability theory, an overview is given of the transition phenomena in subsonic, wall-bounded shear flows. At first, the
