This book provides state-of-the-art results and theories in homogeneous turbulence including
anisotropy and compressibility effects with extension to quantum turbulence
magneto-hydodynamic turbulence and turbulence in non-newtonian fluids. Each chapter is devoted
to a given type of interaction (strain rotation shear etc.) and presents and compares
experimental data numerical results analysis of the Reynolds stress budget equations and
advanced multipoint spectral theories. The role of both linear and non-linear mechanisms is
emphasized. The link between the statistical properties and the dynamics of coherent structures
is also addressed. Despite its restriction to homogeneous turbulence the book is of interest
to all people working in turbulence since the basic physical mechanisms which are present in
all turbulent flows are explained. The reader will find a unified presentation of the results
and a clear presentation of existing controversies. Special attention isgiven to bridge the
results obtained in different research communities. Mathematical tools and advanced physical
models are detailed in dedicated chapters.
