Reviews

"... a well-coordinated text presenting a coherent view of this promising tool...a timely addition to the reference on turbulence simulation and modeling. It provides a significant step forward within the large eddy simulation community in the discussion of ILES. I recommend the book highly to researchers in the field..."
