Topographic Effects in Stratified Flows

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This is a valuable resource for students and teachers of fluid mechanics, providing a deep understanding of the dynamics, and including applications to the flow of the atmosphere and ocean on small to medium scales. This second edition covers significant recent developments and has been restructured into short, digestible chapters.
