Based on a grand theory of turbulence by the author, this book extends the theory to the analysis of stationary, isotropic turbulence at extremely high Reynolds numbers. The author assumes the existence and behavior of inertial and dissipation ranges of wavenumbers, then finds an energy spectrum that fits both ranges. The exact solution for the inertial range spectrum is proportional to a universal function, a consequence of local energy transport, with implications for the statistical mechanics of extremely high Reynolds number isotropic turbulence. There is local energy transport, which results in energy being dissipated primarily by the viscous damping of high wavenumber modes, rather than through a cascade of interactions to progressively smaller scales. The author also examines the skewness and flatness factors of the distribution of velocity derivatives, finding universal constants that describe flatness at extremely high Reynolds numbers. This book details the author's innovative approach and mathematical derivations, providing a rich resource for theoretical physicists, applied mathematicians, and researchers in hydrodynamic and geophysical fluid dynamics.
