Variational Formulation of Fluid and Geophysical Fluid Dynamics
Mechanics, Symmetries and Conservation Laws
Language: English
Release Date: August 29, 2017
This book describes the derivation of the equations of motion of fluids as well as the dynamics of ocean and atmospheric currents on both large and small scales through the use of variational methods. In this way the equations of Fluid and Geophysical Fluid Dynamics are re-derived making use of a...
Quasi-Geostrophic Theory of Oceans and Atmosphere
Topics in the Dynamics and Thermodynamics of the Fluid Earth
Language: English
Release Date: August 11, 2012
Large-scale winds and currents tend to balance Coriolis and pressure gradient forces. The time evolution of these winds and currents is the subject of the quasi-geostrophic theory.
Chapter 1 presents concepts and equations of classical inertial fluid mechanics.
Chapter 2 deals with the equations of...
