Synopsis
This major new monograph represents a milestone in the growing field of fluid dynamics. For the first time papers have been collated from among an international group of the world's foremost researchers in geophysical and astrophysical convection to present the reader with a concise overview of current thinking in the field.
Topics covered include: atmospheric, solar, and stellar convection, solar granulation and numerical simulations, mantle convection, and transport phenomena. This book will be an invaluable reference source for all fluid dynamicists, applied mathematicians, astrophysicists, geophysicists, and atmospheric scientists.
