Topics in Fluid Mechanics

Zusammenfassung The authors have aimed for simplicity in presentation! stressing physical understanding over mathematical development. Specialized subjects such as chaotic advection! chaos and the onset of turbulence - problems that are being tackled in research and industry now - are given particular attention.
