Topographic Effects in Stratified Flows

Klappentext Describes the behaviour of homogeneous and density-stratified fluids over and around topography. Zusammenfassung With an emphasis on both theory and experiment! this text describes the behaviour of homogeneous and density-stratified fluids over and around topography. The text will be a great asset to graduate and advanced undergraduate students! as well as to research professionals. Inhaltsverzeichnis 1. Background; 2. The flow of a homogeneous layer with a free surface; 3. Two-layer flows; 4. Waves in stratified fluids; 5. Stratified flow over two-dimensional obstacles; 6. Stratified flow past three-dimensional topography; 7. Applications to practical modelling of flow over complex terrain.
