Turbulence Structure and Modulation

Controlling turbulence is an important issue for a number of technological applications. Several methods to modulate turbulence are currently being investigated. All of them are based on the introduction of some sort of perturbation into the flow field which affect turbulence coherent structures responsible for turbulence transfer mechanisms. The scope of the book is to describe several aspects of turbulence structure and modulation and to explain and discuss the most promising techniques in detail.
