Joseph Pedlosky's Geophysical Fluid Dynamics is a seminal text that delves into the principles governing fluid motion in geophysical systems, including the atmosphere and oceans. The book offers a thorough integration of physics and mathematics to explain large-scale fluid dynamics influenced by Earth's rotation and density stratification. Key topics include the fundamental equations of motion,…
Fluid Dynamics provides an accessible introduction to the basic theory of fluid mechanics and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) from a modern perspective that unifies theory and numerical computation. Methods of scientific computing are introduced alongside with theoretical analysis and MATLAB� codes are presented and discussed for a broad range of topics: from interfacial shapes in hydrosta…
Handbook of Fluid Dynamics offers balanced coverage of the three traditional areas of fluid dynamics—theoretical, computational, and experimental—complete with valuable appendices presenting the mathematics of fluid dynamics, tables of dimensionless numbers, and tables of the properties of gases and vapors. Each chapter introduces a different fluid dynamics topic, discusses the pertinent is…
This book gives a coherent development of the current understanding of the fluid dynamics of the middle latitude atmosphere. It is primarily aimed at post-graduate and advanced undergraduate level students and does not assume any previous knowledge of fluid mechanics, meteorology or atmospheric science. The book will be an invaluable resource for any quantitative atmospheric scientist who wishe…
