When discussing research in physics and in science more generally, it is common to ascribe
equal importance to the three components of the scientific trinity: theoretical, experimental …

This book comprises seven chapters, an appendix, a bibliographical section 98 references,
and an index. Exercises are provided at the end of each chapter. The stated goal of the book …

This textbook presents a modern account of turbulence, one of the greatest challenges in
physics. The state-of-the-art is put into historical perspective five centuries after the first …

The preface begins' Turbulence is a dangerous topic...'—with which any aircraft operator will
agree—but goes on'... which is often at the origin of serious fights in the scientific meetings …

Lectures on Geophysical Fluid Dynamics offers an introduction to several topics in
theoretical geophysical fluid dynamics, including the theory of large-scale ocean circulation …

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 …

Much progress has been made on two-dimensional turbulence, these last two decades, but
still, a number of fundamental questions remain unanswered. The objective of the present …

One-dimensional advection of sharp and smooth passive scalar profiles.(Left) Top pattern
labeled t= 0 shows three different initial conditions. Only approximately one-third of the …

▪ Abstract This article reviews the transport properties of coherent vortices in rotating
barotropic flows. It is shown that vortices induce regular Lagrangian motion inside their …

Flight-level profiles of vorticity and tangential wind observed in (a) Hurricane Gilbert (1988)
at 1934 UTC 13 Sep (700-mb pressure altitude), and Hurricane Guillermo (1997) at (b) 1935 …
