Synopses & Reviews

Book News Annotation:

Nonlinear instability plays a fundamental role in laminar flow evolution, its transition to chaotic motion, and the subsequent turbulent flow state. This volume reviews current developments, open questions and unsolved problems in these rapidly growing fields. The nine contributions also demonstrate the capability of mathematical, computational, and experimental techniques for the advancement of research in these subjects. They cover both thermal and shear flow systems which can be driven by shear flow of buoyancy forces and may be subjected to some external constraints such as rotation. The applications include aerodynamics and materials processing, geophysics, oceanography, atmospheric science, and astrophysics.

Synopsis:

This collection of invited chapters has been written by fluid dynamicists and applied mathematicians who have made significant contributions to the areas of nonlinear flow instabilities, chaotic motion and turbulence. Containing original research, research-expository and survey articles, it provides a digest of current developments, together with open questions and unsolved problems which are likely to determine fruitful directions for future advanced study and research.

Both thermal and shear flow systems are covered, while applications reviewed include aerodynamics and materials processing, geophysics, oceanography, atmospheric science and astrophysics.
