This book is a comprehensive and intensive monograph for scientists, engineers and
applied mathematicians, as well as graduate students in fluid dynamics. It starts with a brief …

This book deals with the simulation of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations for
laminar and turbulent flows. The book is limited to explaining and employing the finite …

Laboratory experiments on barotropic vortices in a rotating fluid revealed that the instability
behaviour of cyclonic and anticyclonic vortices is remarkably different. Depending on its …

Vortex crystals is one name in use for the subject of vortex patterns that move without
change of shape or size. Most of what is known pertains to the case of arrays of parallel line …

Mesoscale coherent vortices are numerous in the ocean. Though they possess various
structures in temperature and salinity, they are all long-lived, fairly intense and mostly …

In the present paper, we describe the fascinating 150-year history of vortex dynamics, which
started from the classical work by H. Helmholtz (1858). This work contains not only the …

This paper reviews some aspects of topography effects on the dynamics of barotropic
monopolar, dipolar and tripolar vortices in a rotating fluid. It is shown that the modulated …

This book is a summary of our 18-year period of joint work in the field of vortex dynamics in a
stratified rotating fluid under INTAS 94-3614 (1995–1997), INTAS/AIRBUS 04-80-7297 …

Intense tropical cyclones often exhibit concentric eyewall patterns in their radar reflectivity.
Deep convection within the inner, or primary, eyewall is surrounded by a nearly echo-free …

Laboratory observations and numerical simulations reveal that, in addition to monopoles,
dipoles and tripoles, yet another stable coherent vortex may emerge from unstable isolated …
