The Symposium was proposed in 1996, aiming at organizing concen?? trated discussions on current understanding of fluid turbulence with empha?? sis on the statistics and the underlying geometric structures. The decision of the General Assembly of International Union of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics (IUTAM) to accept the proposal was greeted with enthusiasm. Turbulence is often characterized as having the properties of mixing, inter?? mittency, non-Gaussian statistics, and so on. Interest is growing recently in how these properties are related to formation and evolution of struc?? tures. Note that the intermittency is meant for passive scalars as well as for turbulence velocity or rate of dissipation. There were eighty-eight participants in the Symposium. They came from thirteen countries, and fifty-seven papers were presented. The presenta?? tions comprised a wide variety of fundamental subjects of mathematics, statistical analyses, physical models as well as engineering applications. Among the subjects discussed are (a) Degree of self-similarity in cascade, (b) Fine-scale structures and degree of Markovian property in turbulence, (c) Dynamics of vorticity and rates of strain, (d) Statistics associated with vortex structures, (e) Topology, structures and statistics of passive scalar advection, (f) Partial differential equations governing PDFs of velocity in?? crements, (g) Thermal turbulences, (h) Channel and pipe flow turbulences, and others ISBN,Price 9789401596381 Keyword(s) 1.
