Based on a 1992 symposium at the University of Hull, this text was designed to support a broad-based interdisciplinary approach to the study of turbulence and sediment transport in actual rather than laboratory contexts. The modeling of turbulence in near-boundary flows has been limited for a number of decades by the need for detailed monitoring and related analyses of data gathered from a variety of actual flows. The material presented here is a well-balanced collection of measurement techniques, new devices, and new analytical techniques currently in use. In addition, historical and contemporary ideas are presented so that the book can function as both a research vehicle and an advanced-level work for those interested in contributing to this complex field. Reference and illustrative materials are excellent. Those wishing to expand the experimental data needed for more accurate modeling will be well served by this book. Graduate; faculty. C. A.
