Kinetic theory and turbulence
Abstract
The state of art in the kinetic theory of turbulence is reviewed. A time average which separates coherent time dependence from chaotic one is introduced. Particular emphases are on the macroscopic results not reachable through phenomenological theories. Applications to shear and windtunnel turbulence are presented. Turbulent chemical reaction, its anomalous rate increase, in particular, is discussed.
