- More about Turbulence-an Odyssey: Origins and Evolution of a Research Field at the Interface of Science and Engineering
Turbulence is a research field with high expectations but recurrent frustration. It has received little professional historical investigation, and this book sketches its history from its roots to 1961, when it was inaugurated as "a new science". The epilogue contains observations about turbulence research since 1961.

Turbulence, a captivating field of research, has consistently defied expectations, leaving researchers frustrated. A prevailing belief among physicists, mathematicians, and engineers is that turbulence remains a profound mystery, shrouded in obscurity. Despite its significance, turbulence's historical exploration has been relatively limited, with only a modest amount of professional historical investigation. In contrast, subjects like quantum theory have long captured the attention of physics historians, dating back to the early 1950s. Regrettably, turbulence has been largely overlooked in this regard.
In his latest book, "The Turbulence Problem," the author delves into the intricate history of turbulence, spanning from its origins (Part I), fundamental concepts (Part II), and the establishment of a scientific community that recognized turbulence as a distinct research domain (Part III). From this unique vantage point, turbulence research emerges as an exhilarating journey into uncharted territories. The book meticulously tracks this development, culminating in a pivotal conference in Marseille in 1961, where turbulence was officially declared "a new science" by its organizer. The epilogue offers insightful observations on turbulence research since that landmark year.
This comprehensive book serves as a treasure trove of information for anyone intrigued by the rich history of this pivotal field of basic and applied science. It sheds light on the pioneering efforts, breakthroughs, and challenges that have shaped the trajectory of turbulence research, making it an essential resource for scholars, researchers, and enthusiasts alike.
