Chapters cover the motion of particles and heat exchange in homogeneous isotropic turbulence and gradient turbulent flows; collisions of particles in a turbulent flow; and dispersion, collision, and clustering of monodispersed and bidispersed particles in homogeneous turbulence.

RANS Reynolds Stress Models Most eddy viscosity models assume isotropic turbulence structures, which could fail for flows with strong anisotropic behaviors, such as swirling flows and flows with strong curvatures.

Pierre et Marie Curie) and Cambon (mechanics, French National Center for Scientific Research) draw upon their significant research in their examples, and consider the needs of the practitioner in their organization, starting with an explanation of the statistical analysis of homogeneous turbulent flows and moving on to incompressible homogeneous isotropic turbulence, including pure rotation (anisotropic) strain, pure shear, buoyancy and stable stratification.
