Book News Annotation:
An advanced, graduate-level textbook covering all salient flows in
which fluid vortices play a significant role. Topics addressed
include fundamental vortex flows (mixing layer vortices, vortex
rings, wake vortices, vortex stability, etc.), industrial and
environmental vortex flows (aero-propulsion system vortices,
vortex-structure interaction, atmospheric vortices, computational
methods with vortices, etc.), and multiphase vortex flows (free
surface effects, vortex cavitation, and bubble and particle
interaction with vortices). The first nine chapters are suitable for
a one-term course; chapters 10-19 form the basis for a second
one-term course.
