Burgers-KPZ Turbulence Göttingen Lectures / by Wojbor A. Woyczynski.

These lecture notes are woven around the subject of Burgers' turbulence/KPZ model of interface growth, a study of the nonlinear parabolic equation with random initial data. The analysis is conducted mostly in the space-time domain, with less attention paid to the frequency-domain picture. Howev...
