| Summary: | Written in a clear and simple style, this textbook on fluid mechanics gives equal emphasis to both geophysical and engineering fluid mechanics. For physicists, it contains chapters on geophysical fluid mechanics and gravity waves; for engineers, it has chapters on aerodynamics and compressible flow. Of common interest are chapters on governing equations, laminar flows, boundary layers, instability, and turbulence. This book also presents topics of recent interest, such as deterministic chaos, and double-diffusive instability. n Gives equal treatment to topics in both engineering and geophysical fluid dynamics n Suitable as an intermediate or graduate course textbook for students in their senior year or above n Treats topics of recent interest such as deterministic chaos, double diffusive instability and soliton n Extensively illustrated n Contains fully worked examples in each chapter as well as end-of-chapter problems n An instructor's manual is available. |
