"Large-Eddy Simulation in Hydraulics is recommended to numerical modellers working on turbulent flow problems in any branch of hydraulics. To quote William Cowper (The Task: A Poem in Six Books, Book III, The Garden, 1785)
A life all turbulence and noise may seem,
To him that leads it, wise and to be praised;
But wisdom is a pearl with most success
Sought in still water, and beneath clear skies.Overall, the authors are to be congratulated on producing a wise textbook that is timely, very informative and covers a topic of great importance in modern fluid mechanics."
