Synopsis
The theory of rotating hydraulics is important in the study of certain types of swift oceanic and atmospheric flows. Applications include overflows in deep ocean passages such as the Faroe-Bank Channel, shallow exchange flows through gaps like the Strait of Gibraltar, and atmospheric flows such as in the California amarine layer and jet stream. Despite a 30-year history of development the subject is not covered in standard graduate textbooks on geophysical fluid dynamics. This book covers the development of the theory of rotating hydraulics, turning frequently to supporting laboratory models and observational data. As general interest in climate and global circulation increases, the need to understand rotating hydraulic phenomena is growing. The book includes numerous exercises, making it ideal for graduate students in oceanography and meteorology. In addition, it reviews cutting-edge research, and will interest advanced researchers who seek specialized reference as well as engineering graduate students learning about hydraulics in general.

Buch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -What is 'rotating hydraulics' and why would anyone wish to read a book on the subject Over the past three decades, the term has come to describe the physics of overflows and other choked flows of the ocean and atmosphere that are broad enough to be influenced by Earth's rotation. The currents and winds in question typically have high speeds, subcritical-to-supercritical transitions, shocks, and other objects familiar to open-channel or aeronautical engineers. Bores, int- sions, steepening waveforms and separation phenomena are considered part of the subject because they tend to arise within these flows. Mixing with neighboring fluid often occurs as the result of wave breaking or of instabilities associated with the high velocities. Interest in the field is often excited by the dramatic and strongly nonlinear character of the features in question and by the mixing and its downstream consequences. The subject is also important for the study of the Earth's climate because of the special opportunities for observation and long term monitoring made possible as a result of the choking effect. This book is concerned primarily with the theory of rotating hydraulics. However, the Introduction contains an overview of the observations that have motivated much of the theoretical development, and more detailed case studies appear later in the book. Though both the atmosphere and the ocean are covered, the latter is the source of the most numerous examples. 592 pp. Englisch. N° de réf. du vendeur 9780387366395
