How Scientists Figured Out What Drives Tectonic Plates and Mountain Building

The present lecture notes cover a first course in th~ most common types of stratified flows encountered in Environ mental Hydraulics. Most of the flows are buoyancy flows, i.e. currents in which gr...

Natural Convective Heat Transfer from Horizontal and Near Horizontal Surfaces

Modeling: A strategy for understanding.- A simple nonlinear model of convection.- From the equations of motion to spectral models.- Linear stability analysis.- Bifurcation analysis of stationary so...

How Scientists Figured Out What Drives Tectonic Plates and Mountain Building

Homogenization and visco-elasticity of turbulence.- Sedimentation of a random dilute suspension.- Remarks on oscillations and Stokes' equation.- Large and small structures in the computation of tra...

This book is dedicated to Professor Kolumban Hutter of the Darmstadt Univer sity of Technology on the occasion of his 60th birthday on 22 January 200l. Professor Hutter graduated in Civil Engineeri...

The purpose of this book is to gather contributions from scientists in fluid mechanics who use asymptotic methods to cope with difficult problems. The selected topics are as follows: vorticity and ...

Modeling of flow and transport in groundwater has become an important focus of scientific research in recent years. Most contributions to this subject deal with flow situations, where density and v...

It has been my intention in this book to give a coordinated treatment of the whole of theoretical geophysics. The book assumes a mathematical back ground through calculus and differential equations...

2D MHD Duct Flow Problems

The IUTAM Symposium on Nonlinear Instability of Nonparallel Flows was held at Clarkson University, Potsdam, NY 13699-5725, USA from 26 to 31 July 1993. It consisted of 9 general speeches, 35 lectur...
