Microscales of Turbulence

This monograph presents the microscales of complex (buoyant thermocapillary two-phase reacting radiating pulsating etc.) turbulent flows and interprets heat and mass transfer correlations in terms of these scales. The author introduces a general methodology for the development of microscales for complex turbulent flows. Then he provides by these scales a fundamental interpretation for a number of momentum heat and mass transfer correlations which are assumed to be empirical. Lastly he develops correlations in terms of these scales for environmentally and/or technologically important problems related to buoyancy driven flows pulsating flows diffusion flows fires etc.
