Abstract

Abstract CTS-0105416 Edward M. Greitzer, MIT Professor A.M.Yaglom, co-author with Professor A.S. Monin of the classic book on turbulence "Statistical Fluid Mechanics" that was published in Russia in 1965-66 and in English by M.I.T. Press in 1971-5, is current working on the second edition of the book. He plans to update the original book to "present a panoramic view of turbulence research at the end of the 20th century". The work on the early parts of the book was supported by Stanford/Ames Center for Turbulence Research, by US Army Research Laboratory, Silver Spring, MD, and by a private Foundation in Massachusetts. All the funding ran out in October of 2000. The purpose of this proposal is to secure funding for the continuation of this project at MIT where Professor Yaglom is a Fellow.
