It is a common perception among physicists, mathematicians and engineers that there is a "big mystery" behind the phenomenon of turbulence. Its history has also remained anything but well researched. Unlike topics such as quantum theory, which began to attract physics historians as long as fifty years ago, turbulence has - until now - received only little professional historical investigation. In this book, which complements his earlier SpringerBrief "The Turbulence Problem", the author sketches the history of turbulence from the vantage point of its roots (Part I), the basic concepts (Part II) and the formation of a scientific community that regarded turbulence as a research field in its own right (Part III). From this perspective turbulence research appears to undertake an odyssey through uncharted territories. The book follows this development up until a conference in Marseille in theyear 1961, which marked the inauguration of turbulence in the words of its organizer as ?a new science?. The epilogue contains some observations about turbulence research since 1961. This book provides a rich source of information for all those interested in the history of this major field of basic and applied science. 410 0$aHistory of Physics,$x2730-7557 606 $aPhysics$xHistory 606 $aSoft condensed matter 606 $aFluid mechanics 606 $aScience$xHistory 606 $aHistory of Physics and Astronomy 606 $aFluids 606 $aEngineering Fluid Dynamics 606 $aHistory of Science 615 0$aPhysics$xHistory. 615 0$aSoft condensed matter. 615 0$aFluid mechanics. 615 0$aScience$xHistory. 615 14$aHistory of Physics and Astronomy. 615 24$aFluids. 615 24$aEngineering Fluid Dynamics. 615 24$aHistory of Science. 676 $a532.0527 676 $a532.0527 700 $aEckert$b Michael$0497259 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910739455003321 996 $aTurbulence?an Odyssey$94299997 997 $aUNINA
