Abstract

The papers selected for this chapter are all concerned either directly or indirectly with the central problem of turbulence theory, which is to obtain realistic statistical solutions of the Navier-Stokes and scalar transport equations and apply them to practical situations. Before dealing with the papers in detail, it is important to remind ourselves of why this extremely complex topic developed the way it did, take stock of its achievements and review the direction it is heading.
