[See the review of the first ed. (1985; Zbl 0558.76047).] Apart from the removal of some defects, which several reviewers have kindly pointed out, the first three chapters remain unaltered. The forth chapter has been enlarged by adding three new sections on the dispersion of temperature in magnetohydrodynamic turbulence from the Lagrange-Euler point of view. A completely new Chapter V has been added dealing with contemporary developments in theoretical and experimental turbulence. The topology of the strange attractor is described and applied to the inhomogeneous turbulent channel flow. In addition, recent developments in experimental turbulence have been exhibited and discussed. I would like to point out that my original intention was to present the most up-to-date discussion of the fundamental theories in turbulence. With this in mind, I did not ignore, but rather avoided many more specific contributions to the field, since including such material was impossible due to limitations of space.
