New numerical techniques (computational experiments) are employed for direct numerical modeling of free developed shear turbulence: coherent structures, laminar-turbulent flows and transition to chaos. The studies of various kinds of hydrodynamical instabilities (Rayleigh−Taylor, Richtmyer−Meshkov) are an unquestionable interest, especially by the two- and three-dimensional calculation extended to the large temporal intervals up to the turbulent stage.
Submitted paper is a version in English of the same book, published by the author in Russian in 1997 (Nauka Publishing house, Moscow). The author supplemented English version with the latest new results of the research of the spa-tially-nonstationary problems of the development of Rayleigh−Taylor and Richtmyer−Meshkov instabilities. These materials and additional references are inserted at the end of the paper (Section 20). New monograph entitled "Turbulence and Instabilities", Publisher Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (MIPT), Moscow, 1999, contains more completed information.
