Turbulent mixing is a source of paradigm problems in physics, engineering and mathematics. Beyond this important interdisciplinary role, it has immense consequences for a broad range of applications in astrophysics, geophysics, climate and large-scale energy systems. In two volumes, we summarize and provide a perspective on the topic through some 20 articles focusing on turbulent mixing and beyond. The volumes are grouped, somewhat loosely, into those associated with fundamental aspects of turbulence and those specific to Rayleigh-Taylor turbulent mixing.
湍流混合是物理学、工程学和数学中范式问题的一个来源。除了这一重要的跨学科作用外,它对天体物理学、地球物理学、气候和大规模能源系统中的广泛应用也有着巨大的影响。在两卷本中,我们通过大约 20 篇重点关注湍流混合及其以外的主题的文章,对该主题进行了总结和提供了一个视角。这两卷本的内容大致分为与湍流的基本方面相关的内容和与瑞利-泰勒湍流混合相关的内容。
