Summary: Chapter 1 -- Hydrodynamics versus hydraulics -- Chapter 2 -- The turbulence problem in the 1920s -- Chapter 3 -- The rise of statistical theories of turbulence -- Chapter 4 -- Turbulence in WW II -- Chapter 5 -- Expectations and hopes: 1946–1961 -- Chapter 6 -- Computational approaches -- Chapter 7 -- Chaos and turbulence -- Chapter 8 -- Turbulence as a challenge for the historianSummary: On the road toward a history of turbulence, this book focuses on what the actors in this research field have identified as the “turbulence problem”. Turbulent flow rose to prominence as one of the most persistent challenges in science. At different times and in different social and disciplinary settings, the nature of this problem has changed in response to changing research agendas. This book does not seek to provide a comprehensive account, but instead an exemplary exposition on the environments in which problems become the subjects of research agendas, with particular emphasis on the first half of the 20th centuryPPN: PPN: 1681721635Package identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-2-PHA | ZDB-2-SEB | ZDB-2-SXP
