Beschreibung:
Environmental Fluid Mechanics provides comprehensive coverage of a combination of basic fluid principles and their application in a number of different situations-exploring fluid motions on the earth's surface, underground, and in oceans-detailing the use of physical and numerical models and modern computational approaches for the analysis of environmental processes.
Principles of environmental fluid mechanics: preliminary concepts; fundamental equations; viscous flows; inviscid flows and potential flow theory; introduction to turbulence; boundary layers; surface water flows; surface water waves; geophysical fluid motions. Applications of environmental fluid mechanics: environmental transport processes; groundwater flow and quality modelling; exchange processes at the air/water interface; topics in stratified flow; dynamics of effluents; sediment transport; remediation issues.
