Since the human organism is itself an open system, we are naturally curious about the behavior of other open systems with fluxes of matter, energy or information. Of the possible open systems, it is those endowed with many degrees of freedom and strongly deviating from equilibrium that are most challenging. A simple but very significant example of such a system is given by developed turbulence in a continuous medium, where we can discern astonishing features of universality. This two-volume monograph deals with the theory of turbulence viewed as a general physical phenomenon. In addition to vortex hydrodynamic turbulence, it considers various cases of wave turbulence in plasmas, magnets, atmosphere, ocean and space. A sound basis for discussion is provided by the concept of cascade turbulence with relay energy transfer over different scales and modes. We shall show how the initial cascade hypothesis turns into an elegant theory yielding the Kolmogorov spectra of turbulence as exact solutions. We shall describe the further development of the theory discussing stability prob lems and modes of Kolmogorov spectra formation, as well as their matching with sources and sinks. This volume is dedicated to developed wave turbulence in different media.
This introduction to a modern and rapidly developing field starts at a level suitable for graduate students and young researchers. Written by leading experts in the field, it provides a general theory of developed turbulence with a consistent description of phenomena in different media such as plasmas, solids, the atmosphere, oceans and space. Starting from simple dimensional analysis, the exposition proceeds to rigorous theory with exact solutions to the stationary spectra of turbulence, the solution of the stability problem, and matching of Kolmogorov-like spectra with pumping and damping. The reader is provided with the necessary tools for studying nonlinear waves and turbulence: Hamiltonian formalisms, methods of statistical description, derivation of kinetic equations and their steady and nonsteady solutions.
