Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The AGARD Fluid Dynamics Panel sponsored this Symposium to determine the trends and achievements of current research activities in 3D turbulent shear flows and transition and to highlight the problems on which future research should be focused. The Symposium included seven sessions devoted to the topic of transition, and these sessions well represented the current state of the art. The characteristics of three dimensional turbulent shear flows were dealt with in five sessions, a reflection of the fact that here much more experimental work is needed, and the effort devoted to this difficult topic has not yet reached the level required. However, the Symposium served to define the main areas calling for future research, and it should be very helpful in stimulating the work needed.
