Opis

Written by a recognized authority active in recent developments in gravity current research, An Introduction to Gravity Currents and Intrusions provides a self-contained, and systematic introduction to the study, interpretation, and prediction of gravity current flows. The author uses a simple mathematical framework to provide an accessible and comprehensive introduction to the mathematical and physical aspects of this important topic. The text supplies researchers and practitioners with the foundation required to formulate problems, interpret experimental results and measurements data, obtain simple and insightful analytical estimates and solutions, and develop or implement numerical codes for related problems.
