ABOUT THIS BOOK
Turbulence in transportation occurs in the aerodynamics of vehicles, hydrodynamics of watercrafts, and combustion engines, amongst others. Turbulent flows can greatly affect the performance of vehicles, from air and water resistance, noise, and combustion quality. But it can also be exploited to improve the efficiency of the involved engineering operations. Understanding how turbulence effects occur within various transport modes can help engineers build better performing and safer vehicles, and overall improve transport networks.
