AB - Paper gives a review of the most important results of turbulence research  achieved by the Laboratory for Thermal Engineering and Energy. Paper  presents detailed overview of the history of the scientific research  provided in the laboratory, from the beginning in the mid-60s to today,  pointing out the main reasons initiating the investigations in this field.  After the first period, which was mainly devoted to the research of the  structure of the turbulence, since the beginning of the 80s, research is  mainly oriented to the flows at high temperatures including chemical  reactions and to the development and improvement of differential  mathematical models as a modern and very efficient tool in the technological  development. This research significantly contributed to the development of  pulverized coal burners, plasma-chemical reactors, and optimization of  pulverized coal fired boilers operating parameters and prediction of the  greenhouse gases emissions. Most recent period includes experimental and  numerical studies of the coherent structures in turbulent fluid jets,  mathematical modeling of various turbulent thermal flow processes including  two-phase turbulent flow in the multiphase heat exchangers and mathematical  modeling of the atmospheric boundary layer.
