Overview
- A complete introduction of fluid mechanics necessary to deal with incompressible and compressible turbulence
- A clear synthesis of turbulence and coherent-vortex dynamics in a wide range of shear flows
- A detailed presentation of spectral closures applied to velocity and scalar mixing in turbulence
- Details on advanced subgrid models for large-eddy simulations
- Numerous applications to industrial and environmental problems

Reviews
From the reviews of the fourth edition:
"Turbulence in Fluids contains a wealth of information, and its author is a top-tier scientist. … The book is logically ordered and contains a comprehensive list of 738 references. … Lesieur’s monograph is recommended for those who already know quite a bit about turbulence, for the theoretically inclined, and in particular for those interested in homogeneous turbulence and geophysical flows and their numerical simulation." (Mohamed Gad-El-Hak, Siam Review, Vol. 51 (1), 2009)
