Book excerpt: This book is a unique opportunity to present in a single volume information that is needed for both experimentalists, theoreticians and computationalists for the detection, analysis, prediction and control of eddy structures in turbulent shear flows. Major identification techniques of Eddy Structures in Turbulent Shear Flows are presented together with applications to vortex dynamics, turbulence management and flow control, for experimental and numerical applications with new prediction methods: Eduction Schemes, Proper Orthogonal Decomposition, Stochastic Estimation, Pattern Recognition Analysis, Wavelet Transform. Illustrations of the use of the different methods are given.
